This study of type IIIb-III events strongly supports their interpretation as fundamental-harmonic burst pairs. Type IIIb chains and the related type III bursts drift from 12.5 to 6.25 MHz and from 25.0 to 12.5 MHz, respectively, during similar time intervals of 11.1 and 11.0 s, on the average. This

โฆ Synopsis
A decameter solar radio storm of type IIIb and III bursts has been analysed, using single frequency records at frequencies 12.5 and 25.0 MHz.
Several kinds of burst associations are classified. As a result it is shown that in double oblique burst-traces of type IIIb +III on the frequency-time plane the type III burst is shifted by an octave above the type IIIb burst at any moment of the IIIb +III pair's lifetime. In particular, the harmonic structure of the spectrum is peculiar to the event of type IIIb +III in the initial and the final stages. This property of the pair is clear if the type IIIb and III radiations occur at the fundamental coronal plasma frequency and its harmonic respectively. On the other hand, if it is assumed that a type IIIb burst is the precursor of a type III one, there is no reason why the two bursts should be harmonically related.

Different forms of pairs of type III bursts have been discussed in the literature. We report here a new aspect revealed by high time resolution radioheliography. In some groups of these bursts, each element appears to be split into two components. These pairs recur with a characteristic time, and in
There are three kinds of observations that provide indirect evidence for the contentions that (a) some type III radiation is fundamental radiation; and (b) type III's are at times emitted simultaneously as fundamental and second-harmonic plasma radiation.
