definition: The GLOBMET (Global Meteor Observation System) Project (1982-1990) was one of the MAP projects aimed at intensifying research in Meteor Geophysics and Meteor Astronomy in the 1980's by making wider use of the latest achievements in this field and expanding international coordination in meteor research. The main objective of the project was to organize a network of meteor observatories, which will provide experimental data : (1) for testing of models of atmospheric circulation which include the meteor region; (2) on the influx of meteors and the distribution of meteoroids in the neighborhood of the Earth; and (3) for testing models of meteoroid/atmosphere interaction.
