The perturbing effects of a shock wave transit through the transition region are evaluated, using a simplified method of solution of the system of partial differential equations describing the fluid motion behind the shock passage. Calculated temperatures and densities are given at successive times during the shock transit. Based on these shocked models, time dependent brightness temperatures are derived at several decimetric wavelengths and compared with the unperturbed values to evaluate the amplitude of the induced brightness fluctuations. Finally, the possibility of detecting such shock induced phenomena is discussed.
