Shock Waves and the Interpretation of the Chromospheric Calcium K-line
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Extract
Dissipation of shock waves has often been proposed as the energy source required to sustain the outward temperature rise in the solar atmosphere. Theoretical models for the heating process have been developed by equating the mechanical energy input to the radiative energy loss at each height, but neither of these processes is well understood, and the lack of data means that the models are necessarily crude.
