✦ Synopsis

The explosive phase of a flare can be defined by a simple photometric measurement of Ha film records of the flare development. Using the quantitative definition, improved correlations are found between the start of the explosive phase and the start of 10.7 cm radio bursts and Sudden Frequency Deviations compared to earlier correlations of the same data using visual estimates of the start of the explosive phase. Explosive development may be confined to only part of a flare.
