Radar observations of the Leonid meteoroid stream in 2001

Results of the Leonid meteoroid stream observed in 2001 are presented. Data have been collected during November 13-23, 2001 by using a forward-scatter radar operating along the two long baselines of Bologna-Lecce (700 km) and Bologna-Modra (&00 km). The profile of the reflection time shows a broad component on November 18 in the 00-12h UT time interval with maxima between 09.00h and 11.00h UT. Above 90% of the reflection time was recorded at the two receiving stations of Lecce and Modra during the peak with an associted mass index of s=1.72. The fluz reached a value of 4.5x10exp(-11) m [exp(-2)]s [exp(-1)].
