β¦ Synopsis
Observations of radio emission at 3.3 mm wavelength associated with magnetic fields in active regions are reported. Results of more than 200 regions during the years 1967-1968 show a strong correlation between peak enhanced millimeter emission, total flux of the longitudinal component of photospheric magnetic fields and the number of flares produced during transit of active regions. For magnetic flux greater than 1021 maxwells flares will occur and for flux of 1023 maxwells the sum of the Ha flare importance numbers is about 40. The peak millimeter enhancement increases with magnetic flux for regions which subsequently flared. Estimates of the magnetic energy available and the correlation with flare production indicate that the photospheric fields and probably chromospheric currents are responsible for the observed pre-flare heating and provide the energy of flares.

During 1967During -1970 , the greatness of ~ 90 large flares (Ha importance > 2) was influenced by the orientation of the large-scale (~ 100000 km) magnetic field structure over the flare site. Although the average X-ray and optical emissions are only slightly larger for flares with their overlying
The claim by Pudovkin and his co-workers that the geomagnetic effects of a solar flare are controlled almost exclusively by the direction of the large scale magnetic field at the flare site is in apparent conflict with the well established correlation between flares with type IV radio bursts and sub
