โฆ Synopsis
The radio brightness distribution at 29 mm, 23.5 mm and 21.2 mm is calculated employing a statistical technique to account for the presence of spicules randomly occurring along the ray path. The results indicate limb brightening at each wavelength when the Avery and House (1969) spicule model is employed. This contradicts the results of Lantos and Kundu (1972) whose method of computation is shown to be inadequate.

Some properties of solar active regions at 9, 3.5 and 1.2 mm wavelengths are discussed. The regions have excess brightness temperatures of up to 1000, 700 and 150 K at 9, 3.5 and 1.2 mm wavelengths. The background radiation at 3.5 mm is often seen to be 'absorbed' in regions closely coincident with
Previous models of microwave limb brightening have omitted the alignment of spicules along supergranule boundaries, have neglected the high temperature sheath around spicules, and have assumed an interspicular medium which was averaged over chromospheric network and non-network regions.
