Extract

Perhaps the most direct evidence to date for shock wave acceleration of electrons in the solar corona is provided by radio observations of Type II bursts containing herringbone structure (Roberts 1959). On spectral records the herringbones appear to resemble miniature forward and reverse drift Type III bursts extending above and below the Type II backbone.
