A preliminary correlation study of the herring − bone type II with a type III solar burst of has been made. On the basis of this study and in combination with the observation in radio emission, an interpretation of the mechanism of the occurrence of this event has been proposed. The type II solar radio burst with a split and herring bone is occurring at the same time from 36 MHz till 50 MHz. We have noted that an individual type III burst also can be observed at 13:23 UT from 45-50 MHz. During that day, a stream of solar wind from a coronal hole on the Sun has disturbing Earth's magnetosphere creating a minor geomagnetic storm, G1 on the NOAA scale of G1-G5. In this case, the solar flare is not very high, but CME is responsible to form a solar radio burst type II. Overall, based on seven days observation beginning from 25th March 2013, the solar activity is considered as very low. The highest solar flare can be observed within 7 days is only a class of B8 flare. There was no CMEs event that directed to the Earth is detected. The geomagnetic field activities are also at minimum level. Although the solar flare event is at a lower stage, it is still possible to form the solar radio burst type II which is associated with CME event. From the selected event, although theoretically solar radio burst type II is associated with CMEs, there is no compelling solar radio burst type II without a flare. The only difference is the dynamic structure and the intensity and speed of both phenomena (solar flares and CMEs) which depend on the active region. Nevertheless, understanding how energy is released in solar flares is one of the central questions in astrophysics. This solar radio burst type II formation is the first event that successfully detected by e-CALLISTO network in 2013.

Solar radio burst type III and II is the subject matter that we are focusing on because type II and III burst are seem to have relation to each other. The most common of type III burst is called isolated type III burst which is produced by energetic electron from small scale energy release site on the sun and it is ranging from small bright point to large active region. This stage can be considered as a pre-flare stage that could be a signature of electron acceleration. Nevertheless, the most important is that the nonlinear wave-wave interaction which involving interaction of electrostatic electron plasma that called as Langmuir waves active region radio emissions is believed to be a main subject that relevant with a type III burst. In this study, solar radio bursts are observed by using the CALLISTO spectrometer. The log Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) involved in this search over a broad region centered on the Sun and it covered the range of frequency from 45 MHz-870 MHz and it is connected to the CALLISTO spectrometer. At certain period of time, when the Sun launches billons tones of electrically conducting gas plasma into the space at millions of miles per hours it is assigned that CMEs begin to launches. At this time, the appearance of SRBT III was observed and followed by SRBT II within the time interval of 15 minutes. During flares, large scale of magnetic field structures can be destabilized and be repelled into the interplanetary medium; along with the large mass it contains to form so-called CMEs. Based on the result obtained, the SRBT III is followed by SRBT II which only in short period. During the SRBT II, the solar flare was also appearing and same goes to the CMEs
