Abstract
The role of excited molecular hydrogen as a powerful observational too l is examined in the context of shock phenomena in molecular clouds, p articularly in star forming regions. Conclusions that may be drawn fro m line intensities and line profiles, and the properties of J and C sh ocks in a bow shock structure are discussed.
