Correction to: Effective mass function of radio meteoroids as a modulating factor in determining atmospheric scale height

Errors were present in the following text: 'Assuming that the dif fusion coef ficient (which is inversely proportional to the radio amplitude decay time constant, τ ) of underdense trails increases exponentially with heights.Weiss carried out a least-square analysis to obtain the height dependence of meteor trails from the rate of decay of the echo produced by it.'This text has been corrected to reads as follows: 'Assuming that the dif fusion coef ficient (which is inversely proportional to the radio amplitude decay time constant, τ ) of underdense trails increases exponentially with heights, Weiss carried out a least-square analysis to obtain the height dependence of meteor trails from the rate of decay of the echo produced by it.'An incorrect equation number, equation ( 19), was assigned to the statement 'for h R E '.This has been corrected.In the caption of fig.15, the referencing of equation ( 27) and equation ( 32) was incorrect.The caption has been corrected to reference equation ( 24) and equation ( 30), respectively.
