✦ Synopsis
In order to interpret the observed center to lirnb variations of spectrum and polarization of microwave impulsive bursts, gyro-synchrotron emission from nonthermal electrons trapped in a magnetic dipole field is computed. The theoretical spectrum and polarization are consistent with observed ones if we put an outer boundary of the radio source at a layer of 100-60 G or (7-9) • 104 km in height. Rather small observed center-limb variations in intensity and polarization are attributed to the distribution of 0, an angle between the magnetic field and the direction of observer, in the radio source emitting the burst, though the intensity and polarization depend strongly on 0 especially at small values of 0.
