Abstract
The influence of the sunrise effect on the ionization of the meteor zo ne has been found from the comparison of meteor echo range distributio ns obtained by the meteor radars at Springhill (120 000 echoes) and Bu drio (7000 echoes) during the activity of the Geminids meteor shower. The position of the maximum of the echo range distribution correspondi ng to the motion of the shower radiant was found to be shifted to larg er distances, as expected from the sunrise effect, independently of di fferent antenna systems of the two equipments.
