Abstract
The paper describes the polarization characteristics of decametric type III solar radio bursts at two closely spaced frequencies, 34.993 and 34.997 MHz. From the simultaneous orientation angle measurements at these two frequencies, it is concluded that the total Faraday rotation suffered by type III bursts could be of the order of 103 rad.
Polarization characteristics of a few bursts displaying fine structure (4 kHz) in frequency similar to type IIIb bursts have also been described.
