Solar radio bursts of spectral type II provide a prime diagnostic for the passage of shock waves, generated by solar flares, through the solar corona. In this investigation we have compared radio data on the shocks with computer simulations for the propagation of fast-mode MHD shocks through the solar corona. The radio data were recorded at the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station, Fort Davis, Texas. The computer simulations were carried out at NOAA, Boulder, Colorado.
