NEMO - The NEar real-time MOnitoring system – Harvesting information online for a fireball monitoring and alert system

Abstract In the course of the NEar real-time MOnitoring (NEMO) project an information system for bright fireballs on a global scale has been developed. It analyses and combines as much available data as possible from different sources to monitor fireball events, from witness reports via meteor networks to infrasound data. One of near real-time monitoring system's main goals is to deliver information about events in near real-time. For this purpose, the project is supplemented by an alert system. This system is based on Social Media, predominantly on Twitter. Its detection procedure and working principle are presented in this study.
