A new three-point inverse solution using the α-β model reconstructs meteoroid masses and bulk densities from limited fireball observations, achieving 88% convergence on the EN catalog and producing a continuous density range of 300-4000 kg m^{-3} instead of discrete PE categories.

High-resolution WRF atmospheric models show that wind-induced shifts in meteorite ground positions are typically 143-307 m, exceeding observational uncertainties, with successful use in recovering 12 meteorites and open release of 1107 models for 302 events.
