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 Mark Langenfeld wrote: > >>Yes, and is not Chicago called "The Windy City" ? >>To me this strewnfield looks absolutely perfect, if not just a tad >>scewed like (I think) by the wind. >>Mike Farmer >> > >I suspect the winds aloft data are still readily available.
