Abstract

It is observed that while there exists a strong correlation between the decay constant and the exciter duration for isolated type III radio bursts, it is absent for those type III radio bursts which are preceded by type IIIb radio bursts. A possible theoretical explanation for the presence of correlation in one case and lack of it in the other is proposed.
