Abstract
We use this method to correct a dataset of about 20000 double-station meteoroids detected over a period of about 3.5 years with the Canary Island Long-Baseline Observatory (CILBO). The resulting cumulative flux density has a slope comparable to the model of Grün et al. (1985). The largest uncertainty is the luminous efficiency. Depending on which values for the luminous efficiency are assumed, the mass estimate deviates by about one to 1.5 orders of magnitude. Using the luminous efficiencies derived by Weryk et al. (2013) results in an excellent agreement of our data with the Grün data.
