Abstract
In this paper, a meteoric plasma is analyzed from a physical viewpoint, wit h particular emphasis on its interaction with radio waves. The attention is drawn to some macroscopic characteristics of a meteoric plasma and it is s hown that the electron-ion collision frequency is not negligible, as common ly thought.
