abstract = "Our observations show that on some occasions an influx of meteor
ablation possibly contributes to appearance of a sudden
enhancement in mesospheric sodium density. On July 05, 2013,
all-sky images with a narrow sodium filter in the 589 nm emission,
operating at Cachoeira Paulista (22.7 S, 45 W) and lidar
observations of the mesospheric sodium layer, operating at Sao
JoseŽ dos Campos (23.1 S, 45.9 W), both observatories in Brazil,
show a possible relationship of meteor disintegration and
appearance of sodium enhancements on the background layer. After
the meteor impact, the all-sky images showed a sodium cloud that
was seen for about 10 min through the images in the NaD 589 nm
emission, with initial dimensions of approximately 36 km 9 km and
initial speed of about 90 m/s southward. In addition, our
observations show that the movement of sodium cloud in the
horizontal plane around 90 km is relatively anisotropic and change
the dimensions with time.",
