Ozone formation due to interaction of meteoroids with Earth's atmosphere

In a previous paper, it was shown that concentration of atomic oxygen in overdense meteor trails may exceed that of the normal atmosphere by a factor of several hundred times. This may lead to the formation of meteoric ozone. Therefore, it is imperative to estimate the concentration of ozone in the trails of meteor bodies with different masses. It seems that meteoric ozone must be taken into account when studying the balance of ionization in the meteor trails formed by particles with masses more than .01 g. The predicted levels of atomic oxygen and ozone seem sufficient to greatly influence the rate of meteoric plasma deionization.
