One of the major problems in the theory of type III solar radio bursts concerns the development of the two-stream instability. On the one hand, Sturrock (1964) argued that one expects the instability to develop rapidly, and if it does it should prevent the stream from propagating through the corona, contrary to observation. On the other hand, one appears to require that the instability develop partially, in the sense that there is some significant amplified emission of Langmuir waves, in order to account for the observed emission.

The hypothesis is explored that ion sound turbulence generated by the exciting agency for type III bursts is responsible for shadow type III events. The possible absorption mechanisms are listed: the most favourable are the coalescence of transverse waves and ion sound waves into Langmuir waves or the decay of transverse waves into Langmuir waves and ion sound waves. These mechanisms can operate only if the background source emits at the fundamental plasma frequency and the absorbing region is directly above it (;$ 3 x 104 km). It is found that the event discussed by Kai (1973) can be explained in terms of such absorption with reasonable parameters, e.g. with an energy density in ion sound turbulence W' ~ 10-12 ergcm- 3 at frequencies co' ~ O�3cop! (where cop! is the ion plasma frequency).

The polarization of type III bursts was measured, using a swept.phase technique, at 40 and 60 Mc/s. The great majority of type III bursts show slight to moderate polarization. The results indicate a double structure for the type III burst-a sharp, intense, drifting feature with relatively strong polarization, and a diffuse background of longer duration with relatively weak or zero polarization.

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.
