Context: Eruptive events such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares accelerate particles and generate shock waves which can arrive at Earth and can disturb the magnetosphere. Understanding the association between CMEs and CME-driven shocks is therefore highly important for space weather studies. Aims: We present a study of the CME/flare event associated with two type II bursts observed on September 27, 2012. The aim of the study is to understand the relationship between the observed CME and the two distinct shock wave signatures. Methods: The multi-wavelength study of the eruptive event (CME/flare) was complemented with radio triangulation of the associated radio emission and modelling of the CME and the shock wave employing MHD simulations. Results: We found that, although temporal association between the type II bursts and the CME is good, the low-frequency type II(LF-type II) burst occurs significantly higher in the corona than the CME and its relationship to the CME is not straightforward. The analysis of the EIT wave (coronal bright front) shows the fastest wave component to be in the southeast quadrant of the Sun. This is also the quadrant in which the source positions of the LF-type II were found to be located, probably resulting from the interaction between the shock wave and a streamer. Conclusions: The relationship between the CME/flare event and the shock wave signatures is discussed using the temporal association,as well as the spatial information of the radio emission. Further, we discuss the importance and possible effects of the frequently non-radial propagation of the shock wave.

We report on the radio-emission characteristics of 222 interplanetary (IP) shocks. A surprisingly large fraction of the IP shocks (~34%) is radio quiet (i.e., the shocks lacked type II radio bursts). The CMEs associated with the RQ shocks are general
ly slow (average speed ~535 km/s) and only ~40% of the CMEs were halos. The corresponding numbers for CMEs associated with radio loud (RL) shocks are 1237 km/s and 72%, respectively. The RQ shocks are also accompanied by lower peak soft X-ray flux. CMEs associated with RQ (RL) shocks are generally accelerating (decelerating). The kinematics of CMEs associated with the km type II bursts is similar to those of RQ shocks, except that the former are slightly more energetic. Comparison of the shock The RQ shocks seem to be mostly subcritical and quasi-perpendicular. The radio-quietness is predominant in the rise phase and decreases through the maximum and declining phases of solar cycle 23. The solar sources of the shock-driving CMEs follow the sunspot butterfly diagram, consistent with the higher-energy requirement for driving shocks.
Band split of solar type II radio bursts, discovered several decades ago, is a fascinating phenomenon with the type-II lanes exhibiting two almost-parallel sub-bands with similar morphology. The underlying split mechanism remains elusive. One popular
interpretation is that the splitting bands are emitted from the shock upstream and downstream, respectively, with their frequency ratio ({gamma}) determined by the shock compression ratio. This interpretation has been taken as the physical basis for many published references. Here we report an observational analysis of type II events with nice split selected from the ground-based RSTN data from 2001 to 2014, in the metric-decametric wavelength. We investigate the temporal variation and distribution of {gamma}, and conduct correlation analyses on the deduced spectral values. It is found that {gamma} varies in a very narrow range with >80% of {gamma} (one-minute averaged data) being between 1.15 to 1.25. For some well-observed and long-lasting events, {gamma} does not show a systematic variation trend within observational uncertainties, from the onset to the termination of the splits. In addition, the parameters representing the propagation speed of the radio source (presumably the coronal shock) show a very weak or basically no correlation with {gamma}. We suggest that these results do not favor the upstreamdownstream scenario of band splits.
We analyze radio bursts observed in events with interacting/non-interacting CMEs that produced major SEPs (Ip $>$ 10 MeV) fromApril 1997 to December 2014.We compare properties of meter (m), deca-hectometer (DH) type II as well as DH type III bursts,
and time lags for interacting-CME-associated (IC) events and non-interacting-CME-associated (NIC) events. About 70% of radio emissions were observed in events of both types from meters to kilometers. We found high correlations between the drift rates and mid-frequencies of type II radio bursts calculated as the mean geometric between their starting and ending frequencies for both NIC and IC-associated events (Correlation coefficient textit{R}$^{2}$ = 0.98, power-law index $varepsilon$ = 1.68 $pm $ 0.16 and textit{R}$^{2}$ = 0.93, $varepsilon$ = 1.64 $pm $ 0.19 respectively).We also found a correlation between the frequency drift rates of DH type II bursts and space speeds of CMEs in NIC-associated events. The absence of such correlation for IC-associated events confirms that the shock speeds changed in CME--CME interactions. For the events with western source locations, the mean peak intensity of SEPs in IC-associated events is four times larger than that in NIC-associated SEP events. From the mean time lags between the start times of SEP events and the start of m, DH type II, and DH type III radio bursts, we inferred that particle enhancements in NIC-associated SEP events occurred earlier than in IC-associated SEP events. The difference between NIC events and IC events in the mean values of parameters of type II and type III bursts is statistically insignificant.
We investigated the relationship between the spectral structures of type II solar radio bursts in the hectometric and kilometric wavelength ranges and solar energetic particles (SEPs). To examine the statistical relationship between type II bursts an
d SEPs, we selected 26 coronal mass ejection (CME) events with similar characteristics (e.g., initial speed, angular width, and location) observed by the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO), regardless of the characteristics of the corresponding type II bursts and the SEP flux. Then, we compared associated type II bursts observed by the Radio and Plasma Wave Experiment (WAVES) onboard the Wind spacecraft and the SEP flux observed by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) orbiting around the Earth. We found that the bandwidth of the hectometric type II bursts and the peak flux of the SEPs has a positive correlation (with a correlation coefficient of 0.64). This result supports the idea that the nonthermal electrons of type II bursts and the nonthermal ions of SEPs are generated by the same shock and suggests that more SEPs may be generated for a wider or stronger CME shock with a longer duration. Our result also suggests that considering the spectral structures of type II bursts can improve the forecasting accuracy for the peak flux of gradual SEPs.
The Sun is an active source of radio emission which is often associated with the acceleration of electrons arising from processes such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). At low radio frequencies (<100 MHz), numerous solar S bursts (wh
ere S stands for short) and storms of Type III radio bursts have been observed, that are not directly relates to flares and CMEs. Here, we expand our understanding on the spectral characteristic of these two different types of radio bursts based on observations from the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). On 9 July 2013, over 3000 solar S bursts accompanied by over 800 Type III radio bursts were observed over a time period of ~8 hours. The characteristics of Type III radio bursts are consistent to previous studies, while S bursts show narrow bandwidths, durations and drift rates of about 1/2 the drift rate of Type III bursts. Type III bursts and solar S bursts occur in a region in the corona where plasma emission is the dominant emission mechanism as determined by data constrained density and magnetic field models.
