Extract

Most if not all metre-wave Type III bursts appear to be associated with solar active regions (e.g. Duncan 1977). There is a well-known association of Type III bursts and flares within a few minutes of the onset of the brightenings seen in Hα (Wild et al. 1954). Early descriptions of these observations were given by Malville (1961) (or see Kundu (1965) for review). More recently Jackson et al. (1978) have reported the occurrence of a broad maximum of Type III bursts 10 to 5 h prior to mass ejection transients seen by the white light coronagraph on Skylab.
