abstract = "This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the radiated
optical and impact energies of fireball events, aiming to
elucidate spatial, temporal, and energy-related patterns.
Utilizing a dataset of nearly 1,000 fireball occurrences from the
Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) archives, we examine
critical metrics such as altitude, velocity, radiated energy, and
impact energy. Through comprehensive statistical analyses,
uncertainty propagation, and trajectory simulations, we uncover
the global distribution of fireball events and their
interrelationships, emphasizing the correlation between radiated
and impact energies. The study models energy dissipation over time
due to atmospheric drag, combining these dynamics into the
analysis of fireball behavior. Our findings indicate a reasonable
positive correlation between radiated optical energy and impact
energy, validating the use of radiated energy as a reliable proxy
for estimating impact potential. Additionally, mass estimates
based on radiated energy provide further insights into fireball
characteristics and their energy dissipation rates. The spatial
distribution reveals significant clustering in regions with
advanced sensor networks, suggesting detection biases, while the
temporal analysis highlights consistent meteoroid influx, with
seasonal peaks corresponding to known meteor showers. This
research advances meteor science by identifying key trends in the
distribution and energy characteristics of fireballs, offering new
insights into meteoroid dynamics, atmospheric entry behaviors, and
potential hazards. The dataset, detailing attributes such as
radiated optical energy, calculated impact energy, altitude,
velocity at peak brightness, and energy dissipation patterns,
supports ongoing investigations into meteoroid impacts and their
broader implications for planetary defense.",
