If the wind data is still available, it may be good to model
the fall with winds in different altitudes. Itīs quite amusing,
how strong the effect of the wind could be in smaller fragments.

We had a very promising bolide in Finland in February, and
in first modellings we forgot the wind. In the modellings with
wind data the smaller fragments (about 50 grams) changed
their direction over 140 degrees before landing...

take care,

pekka
