The subject of this review is the atmospheric chemistry of the metals which ablate from
meteoroids in the Earth, s upper atmosphere. The major meteoric species are Fe, Mg, Si …

This review discusses the magnitude of the cosmic dust input into the earth's atmosphere,
and the resulting impacts from around 100 km to the earth's surface. Zodiacal cloud …

Shock waves and the associated phenomena generated by strongly ablating meteoroids
with sizes greater than a few millimeters in the lower transitional flow regime of the Earth's …

Most of the extraterrestrial dust entering the Earth's atmosphere ablates to produce metal
vapours, which have significant effects on the aeronomy of the upper mesosphere and lower …

The solar system is dusty, and would become dustier over time as asteroids collide and
comets disintegrate, except that small debris particles in interplanetary space do not last …

Recent advances in interplanetary dust modelling provide much improved estimates of the
fluxes of cosmic dust particles into planetary (and lunar) atmospheres throughout the solar …

The size and velocity distribution of cosmic dust particles entering the Earth's atmosphere is
uncertain. Here we show that the relative concentrations of metal atoms in the upper …

Sporadic meteoroids are the most abundant yet least understood component of the Earth's
meteoroid complex. This paper aims to build a physics-based model of this complex …

A global model of sodium in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere has been developed
within the framework of the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Whole Atmosphere …

Space weather including solar activity and background plasma sets up spacecraft conditions
that can magnify the threat from hypervelocity impacts. Hypervelocity impactors include both …
