Scientific paper

The impacts of the pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 should generate strong waves and fronts. Those that start out downward within a few degrees of vertical can travel large distances before reaching the surface again, and may probe to depths (13000 km) as great as the metallic-hydrogen boundary. It is shown that the wave fronts should be detectable through their stratospheric heating and cooling, by imaging in the 7.8 micrometer band of CH4, which is very temperature sensitive (radiance proportional to T12.3). In addition to the 'seismic' waves, the experiment should be able to detect slower-moving ducted acoustic waves near the tropopause and still slower gravity waves.
