✦ Synopsis

We present the results of a study to determine the relationship between flare-related metre wavelength continuum outburts and coronal mass ejection events. Using radio data obtained with the Culgoora radioheliograph and optical data from the SOLWlND experiment aboard the P-78 satellite we find a good temporal and positional overlap between the two types of events. In most cases the radio bursts could be classed as either a type-II-related Flare Continuum (FC II) or a Slow Drift Continuum (SDC). Comparing properties for the events it was found that the continuum radio bursts were preferentially associated with the broader, more rapidly moving CME transients.
