Type III bursts at 169 MHz

Type III bursts: polarisation

CMEs: Association with eruptive prominences and flares
% association with flares or prominences (filaments) vary (authors and cycle).
Speeds: few tens up to 2000 km/s.

Filament/prominence eruption
Thermal emission of prominence and surrounding medium

ACE/EPAM  and Ulysses/HI-SCALE energetic electrons: 14 July 2000
Comparison with radio observations
Near scatter-free electrons probes localized regions of the corona identified by imaging radio observations.
Electron Anisotropy agrees in time with appearance of radio sources seen in western quadrant.

FASR and Space Weather

Association between CMEs, ICMEs and shocks

Association between ICMEs, shocks detected near the Earth and CMEs

FASR and Space Weather
Need to cover broad frequency range
High frequencies
Filament activation, sigmoids, proton flare regions
Lowest frequencies ( important to go at ≤100 MHz)
Shock formation and propagation
Regions of triggering the event (null point)
Large scale (3-D) geometry of CMEs, IP disturbances reaching Earth
Forecast CME reaching Earth and
Bz at Earth need both High and low frequencies

FASR and Space Weather
Synoptic studies
Large scale patterns …..
Material in flow (Sheeley et al ) at the interface  between two coronal holes: sector field with strong gradients, streamer belt distorted (Sheeley and Wang): Regions of instability could be detected in radio
« Points Pivots » (Martres…) recurrent activity
Coronal holes:  fast solar wind
Complementary of XUV domain
Definition of an observing mode for SW
- We have to improve diagnostics with the existing data

FASR and long term perspective
Coordination needed for  future plans
