Abstract

A comparison of quiescent type I solar radio sources with concurrent intense impulsive type III, V, and type II sources shows that whereas the type I sources are usually small and stable the type III, V, and II sources are usually large and unstable. We conclude that the large size and variability of the type III, V, and II radio sources cannot be attributed to instrumental error or ionospheric refraction but must instead reflect the size and variability of the coronal structures on which they arise.
