A seven-year radar survey of meteor showers has been carried out with the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar (CMOR) from 2002-2008 (Brown et al. 2008, 2010). This survey resulted in the unambiguous detection and orbital characterization of 109 major and minor meteor showers. This data set includes a list of the detected meteor showers along with their orbital parameters.
