New microstructure of decametre solar radio bursts

Abstract

THE fine structure of a variety of decametre solar radio bursts obtained with high temporal and frequency resolution spectrographs provides valuable information on the generation mechanisms of these bursts together with the physical conditions in the corona. Earlier observations1–10 of solar radio bursts in the decametre region have revealed some types of fine structure bursts, drift pairs and split pairs being examples of fine temporal and frequency structure bursts respectively.
