Type II Solar Radio Bursts: Theory and Space Weather Implications

, , , and . Space Science Reviews, 107 (1): 27--34 (April 2003)

Abstract

Abstract  Recent data and theory for type II solar radio bursts are reviewed, focusing on a recent analytic quantitative theory for interplanetary type II bursts. The theory addresses electron reflection and acceleration at the type II shock, formation ofelectron beams in the foreshock, and generation of Langmuir waves and the type II radiation there. The theory's predictionsas functions of the shock and plasma parameters are summarized and discussed in terms of space weather events. The theoryis consistent with available data, has explanations for radio-loud/quiet coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and why type IIs arebursty, and can account for empirical correlations between type IIs, CMEs, and interplanetary disturbances.
