Comparison of maps of the Sun obtained over the period June 29 to July 8, 1982 at 169 MHz with the Nan~ay Radioheliograph and at 73.8, 50, and 30.9 MHz with the Clark Lake Radioheliograph shows that the slowly varying component at meter and decameter wavelengths is not always thermal emission.

โฆ Synopsis
The new TeePee Tee array of the Clark Lake Radio Observatory has been used to observe the quiet Sun at 121.5, 73.8 and 26.3Mtlz. The equatorial brightness distributions at all three frequencies, and the polar brightness distributions at the two higher ones have been measured. From the observed total fluxes and half-power diameters we have derived the peak brighmess temperatures of the solar disk as well as of some sources of the slowly xarying component. * On leave of absence from Instituto Argentino de II.adioastrononlia, Argentina.

In this article, we review some of the recent results obtained with imaging observations of the Sun at meter-decameter wavelengths, using the Clark Lake multifrequency radioheliograph. We briefly discuss the use of imaging observations to study the large scale structure of the upper corona. We discu
The Teepee Tee array of the Clark Lake Radio Observatory has been used to compare the flux of the Sun with that of the sidereal sources Tau A and Vir A at several frequencies in the range 109.0-19.0 MHz. Only the two central banks of the E-W arm of the array were used as elements of a phase switched
Unique long-term visibility variations are detected when the quiet Sun is observed with interferometers operating at 8 mm and 11 cm wavelength with angular resolutions of -0.5'. Quasiperiodic fluctuations in fringe amplitude are observed with periods between 20 and 30 rain, and with amplitude nulls
