69. Disturbed radio emission from the sun as a sum of small monochromatic peaks

Extract
Observations of the radio emission from the sun carried out during recent years at the Crimean Station of the Physical Institute of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences showed that the occurrence of spots appreciably increases the intensity of the solar radio emission in the range of metre wave-lengths. This increase of intensity has two components. The first (S-component) changes comparatively slowly with time. The second (P-component) consists of individual brief bursts (of the order of a second and less) of small amplitudes (10–100 % of the intensity of the quiet sun). The P-component is manifested most clearly in the emission connected with spots of small areas, when the general increase of the intensity is insignificant. Such a situation has been utilized for the study of the spectrum of individual small peaks.
