Ep. Abranin et al., PARAMETERS OF THE DYNAMIC SPECTRA OF TYPE IIID SOLAR DECAMETER RADIO FLARES WITH ECHO COMPONENTS, ASTRONOM ZH, 73(6), 1996, pp. 939-946
New observations of a two-week, radio noise storm of type IIId decamet
er flares on the UTR-2 antenna at Khar'kov in July 1992 show that the
shape and certain parameters of the flares depend significantly on the
longitude of the studied region in the solar corona. During several d
ays in the middle of the storm, the dynamical spectra of the flares ha
d a clearly-visible echo component. In amplitude channels at several f
requencies from 30 to 7 MHz, the radio storm was not usually observed
below 25 MHz. On July 6, however, when the echo delay reached its maxi
mum value (approximate to 7 s), emission was detected at all working f
requencies greater than or equal to 14.7 MHz. The rates of the frequen
cy drift indicate that complex ''central'' flares do not differ on ave
rage from ordinary (''limb'') type IIId flares and from other type III
emission generated at the second harmonic. The frequency dependence o
f the delay of the echo flares reveals a modest decrease with decreasi
ng frequency, instead of the expected monotonic growth, The ratio of t
he amplitude maxima of the two-peaked intensity time profile and the i
ntermediate minimum level of this profile changed significantly with f
requency, The temporal splitting and longitude evolution of type IIId
radio flares can be qualitatively explained in the framework of a simp
le coronal model with a source at the second harmonic of the local pla
sma frequency, which can be observed directly and after reflection. Th
is model must be updated, taking account of these new experimental dat
