India, March 27 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Researchers delving into solar coronal shocks triggered by solar flares have cracked a long-standing puzzle about the reason behind the strange variation in the relative strengths of radio waves called fundamental (base note of the wave) and harmonic emissions (overtone) for different bursts.
The study improves scientists' understanding of how solar shocks generate radio waves and how those waves travel through the corona and can help predict weather forecasting.
Solar coronal shocks triggered by solar flares or coronal mass ejections produce radio emission of a particular kind, known as type II solar radio bursts. These bursts, also called slow-drifting bursts, typically d...
