A catalogue of major metre-wavelength solar events recorded by the Dapto and Culgoora solar radio observatories (1961-1981)

A catalog of 668 major, meter-wavelength radio events derived from dynamic spectra obtained with a radio spectrograph, which recorded radio emission intensity as a function of both frequency and time is presented. The first of the catalog's two tables updates the earlier catalog of Boorman et al (1961), listing the times of the three (Type III, Type II, and continuum) components of a major radio event. In addition, time, location and importance of the associated optical flare, and the time and location of the short wave fadeout, are tabulated. In the second table, the earlier catalog is expanded by describing the morphological properties of the various phases of the radio event. Comments, especially concerning associated microwave activity and the tabulated optical flares, are also given.
