The joint evaluation of different meteor observation types supports a better understanding
of both meteor phenomena and the terrestrial atmosphere. Two types of examples are
presented in this work, linking ionospheric effects to specific meteors, with almost
one-third of the meteors that emerged at high altitudes simultaneously recorded with
an optical camera. Very few such observations have been realized as yet. With daytime
fireballs, the recorded infrasound effect and the atmospheric blast produced shock-wave-related
small earthquakes which were identified by a network of ground stations. An overview
of these observational types highlights specific topics for which substantial improvements
and discoveries are expected in the near future.
