Abstract Studies of extraterrestrial radio noise became world wide after WWII, and were rapidly separated into a number of disciplines. Solar radio astronomy, at a wavelength of 10.7 cm, was initiated in 1946 at the Radio Field Station of the National Research Council. Its development at the Goth Hill Radio Observatory outside Ottawa is outlined until 1962, when the work was transferred to the Algonquin Radio Observatory.

This review is concerned to study of sun at frequencies lower than 1.4 GHz. Emphasis is made on results which illustrate the topics in which GMRT could play a major role. Coordinated studies including spectral and imaging radio observations are important for research in solar physics. Joint observations between the Giant Meter Radio Telescope (GMRT) with radio instruments located in the same longitude range are encouraged. This review inludes three distinct topics: Electron beams and radio observations- Radio signatures of Coronal Mass Ejections- Radio signatures of coronal and interplanetary shocks.

During the last five years, we at the McMath-Hulbert Observatory have been attempting to determine the characteristics of radio-frequency radiation associated with certain of the transient solar features that we normally observe on monochromatic spectroheliograms or in integrated light. We have had the privilege of using the original 200 Mc./s. records at Cornell University and the 2800 Mc./s. records at the National Research Council in Ottawa.
