Estimation of Magnetic Field Strength from Enhanced Solar Radio Emission

Abstract

The manifestation of solar activity on radio noise records at 28.6 MHz is discussed with special emphasis on Type-I noise storms and the associated coronal magnetic fields above the active regions in time. Magnetic fields are estimated, assuming that the Type-I radio emission at decametre wavelengths is due to shock waves, by making use of the observed shock velocity. The results are comparable with the existing estimates.
