Short-Term Effects of Impact-related Heating of the Upper Atmosphere
Abstract
We use WACCM to look at the effects of a strong heating of the upper atmosphere from a KT-size impact event. The heating produces an immediate LW radiation to the surface, while effects on atmospheric chemistry extend well beyond the heating.
