Abstract
Radar data recorded during 1993 and 1994 by using the forwardscatter meteor radar of the National Research Council (CNR), enable us to obtain a measurement of the terrestrial mass accretion rate in the cosmic dust mass range 10212 to 1027 kg. This value results to be 5.4 Q 107 kg per year and is in good agreement with previous estimates obtained from other authors (LOVE S. G. and BROWNLEE D. E., Science, 262 (1993) 550). Calculations are possible only by taking into account some statistical data series and extrapolation toward higher mass ranges appears to be misleading.
