Abstract
The distribution of monthly counts of grouped solar flares N f has been studied for the time period 1967–1985 and they have been compared to other solar activity index R z , F 2800, and F 3750 i.e. intensities of solar radio flux at 2800 MH z and 3750 MH z . Seasonal variations have been found in the monthly distribution of solar flares.
We have also studied the variation of the correlation coefficient for every year between N F and R z for the time period 1967–1985. The distribution of monthly counts of grouped solar flares N f has also been compared to the number at high velocity solar-wind streamers for the same period.
