Observations of solar radio bursts from meter to kilometer wavelengths

New results obtained with the Clark Lake multifrequency radioheliograph at meter-decameter wavelengths and from satellite multifrequency directive observations at hectometer and kilometer wavelengths are reviewed. Evidence is presented that type III electrons propagate in dense coronal streamers and that frequently observed microbursts (presumably type III) at meter-decameter wavelengths are due to plasma radiation. Observations of hectometer and kilometer type III radio storms which reveal information about active region structures, the interplanetary magnetic field configuration, and solar wind acceleration are discussed. Kilometer type II bursts and interactions between type III electrons and interplanetary shocks are examined, and some new results on shock-associated events are presented. 23 references
