Values for the parameters (other than grain mass) used in the modelling. $T_{\rm lim}$ is the temperature at which fragmentation occurs, $T_{\rm boil}$ the boiling point of the grains, $C_{\rm p}$ the specific heat, Mmass the molar mass, and Thermal Cond the thermal conductivity of the bulk meteoroid (Meteor ELSL11).
