โฆ Synopsis
We review and discuss a few interplanetary electron density scales which have been derived from the analysis of interplanetary solar radio bursts, and we compare them to a model derived from 1974-1980 Helios 1 and 2 in situ density observations made in the 0.3-1.0 AU range. The Helios densities were normalized to 1976 with the aid of IMP and ISEE data at 1 AU, and were then sorted into 0.1 AU bins and logarithmically averaged within each bin. The best fit to these 1976-normalized, bin averages is N(RAu ) = 6.1R-2.1o cm-3. This model is in rather good agreement with the solar burst determination if the radiation is assumed to be on the second harmonic of the plasma frequency. This analysis also suggests that the radio emissions tend to be produced in regions denser than the average where the density gradient decreases faster with distance than the observed R-2.1o.

A type II solar radio burst, which was observed by the satellite IMP-6 and reported by Malitson et al. (1973a), is correlated with a type II burst recorded by ground-based instruments at Culgoora. Since no other important coronal activity (as measured by meter-wave observations) occurred in the 9 hr
Numerical simulation for the type III solar radio bursts in meter wavelengths was made with the electron beam of a high number density enough to emit fundamental radio waves comparable in intensity with the second harmonic. This requirement is fulfilled if the optical thickness r: for the negative
IMP-6 spacecraft observations of low frequency radio emission, fast electrons, and solar wind plasma are used to examine the dynamics of the fast electron streams which generate solar type-III radio bursts. Of twenty solar electron events observed between April, 1971 and August, 1972, four were foun
