Abstract
⺠Many Copernican lunar craters have well preserved impact melt flows. ⺠Meter-scale digital terrain models allow quantitative analysis of impact melt flow deposits. ⺠Observations of impact melt deposits show that they were highly fluid and emplaced at high temperatures (superheated). ⺠Melt volume per impact event can vary significantly above model predictions.
