AbstractWe present recent results from meter-decameter imaging of several classes of solar radio bursts: Preflare activity in the form of type III bursts, correlated type IIIs from distant sources, and type II and moving type IV bursts associated with flares and CMEs.

Abstract. This article summarizes the results of an analysis of solar radio bursts detected by the e-Compound Astronomical Low cost Low-frequency Instrument for spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (e-CALLISTO) spectrometer hosted by the University of Rwanda, College of Education. The data analysed were detected during the first year (2014–2015) of the instrument operation. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) images on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) were used to check the location of propagating waves associated with type III radio bursts detected without solar flares. Using quick plots provided by the e-CALLISTO website, we found a total of 202 solar radio bursts detected by the CALLISTO station located in Rwanda. Among them, 5 are type IIs, 175 are type IIIs, and 22 type IVs radio bursts. It is found that all analysed type IIs and ∼37 % of type III bursts are associated with impulsive solar flares while Type IV radio bursts are poorly associated with flares. Furthermore, all of the analysed type II bursts are associated with CMEs which is consistent with the previous studies, and ∼44 % of type IIIs show association with CMEs. On the other hand it is observed that the majority of type IV radio bursts are believed to be originated from CME-driven shocks. Findings from this study confirms that solar radio bursts (SRBs) from ground observation and analysis constitute a clue to diagnose the space weather phenomena such as solar flare and CMEs and to some extent, they may serve as the advance warning of the related severe space weather hazards.

Large solar radio outbursts at metre wavelengths often consist of a group of type III bursts followed a few minutes later by a type II burst; in both spectral types the intense burst radiation drifts towards lower frequencies with time (Figure 1).

Solar radio bursts of spectral type II provide a prime diagnostic for the passage of shock waves, generated by solar flares, through the solar corona. In this investigation we have compared radio data on the shocks with computer simulations for the propagation of fast-mode MHD shocks through the solar corona. The radio data were recorded at the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station, Fort Davis, Texas. The computer simulations were carried out at NOAA, Boulder, Colorado.

Observational results are given concerning the relative positions on the Sun's disk of the fundamental and second-harmonic emissions of solar radio bursts of spectral types II and III. Contrary to simple theory, the results indicate that it is common for the harmonic emission in type II bursts to arrive from directions corresponding to much lower heights in the solar atmosphere than the fundamental. The results for type III bursts are inconclusive but suggest the same trend.

The relationship of radio bursts of spectral type III to solar flares is investigated by comparing simultaneous optical and radio observations. Over 300 flares are examined, 85 per cent. of which are microflares (class 1?). About 20 per cent. of the flares are associated with type III events, while more than 60 per cent. of the bursts recorded occur during the lifetime of a flare. These bursts tend to occur near the beginning of the flare or even to precede it slightly.

On 17 June 1968 we observed a flare event with the 80 MHz Culgoora radioheliograph consisting of a sequence of two type II bursts followed by enhanced emission possibly of type IV. In this paper we shall attempt to summarize some ofthe profuse data collected by the radioheliograph during this event and relate it to data from the radiospectrograph and Hα films of the associated flare (the Hα films were kindly made available by the Division of Physics, CSIRO).

For many years we have had evidence from solar radio bursts of violent mass motions in the solar corona: type II bursts reveal the passage of shock waves through the solar corona, and moving type IV bursts show that plasma and magnetic field travel to great distances without any sign of slowing down.
