โฆ Synopsis
Observations of type III burst profiles at 18, 22, 26 and 36 MHz, by Barrow and Achong (1975), are used to calculate the form of the exciter function. The burst profile is treated as the convolution of an exciter function and an exponential decay function. The average form of the exciter profile is obtained directly from calculated profiles and further inferred from the first three statistical moments. Normalised average profiles of the burst and the exciter are presented for each frequency.
The analysis shows that over the frequency range 18-36 MHz, (1) the exciter function possesses negative skewness, (2) the shapes of burst profiles and exciter profiles are approximately constant and, (3) burst peak time varies linearly with height in the corona. It is suggested that the passage of the exciting electron stream through field-dominated and flow-dominated coronal regions has different effects on the profiles.

The paper describes the polarization characteristics of decametric type III solar radio bursts at two closely spaced frequencies, 34.993 and 34.997 MHz. From the simultaneous orientation angle measurements at these two frequencies, it is concluded that the total Faraday rotation suffered by type Ill
Storms of type III solar radio bursts observed from 5.4 ot 0.2 MHz consist of a quasi-continuous production of type III events observable for half a solar rotation but persisting in some cases for well over a complete rotation (Fainberg and Stone, 1970).

An analysis has been made of type III bursts recorded during a decametric solar storm observed from July 29 to August 16, 1975 with the UTR-2 antenna (Kharkov, IRE Acad. Sci. Ukr. SSR). The bursts were recorded with a dynamic spectrograph and radiometers at 25.0, 20.0, 16.7, and 12.5 MHz. Daily obse
