Abstract

The broad-band EUV and microwave fluxes correlate strongly with hard X-ray fluxes in the impulsive phase of a solar flare. This note presents numerical aids for the estimation of the non-thermal electron fluxes from these correlations, using the SFD (sudden frequency deviation) ionospheric data to measure the EUV flux.
