Introduction
In the conventional picture, a [CME] drives a coronal shock wave that produces a [type II ("slow drift")] radio burst, which then accelerates solar energetic particles [SEPs]. In an earlier Nugget we noted the development of [NOAA] active region 2192, in October 2014; this region produced a remarkable series of major flares but few CMEs and no SEPs. We were thus quite surprised to find that our Glasgow Callisto radio observatory had actually detected type II bursts from some of these flares.
e-Callisto and Glasgow Callisto
The e-Callisto project is a global development of solar radio spectrometers scattered widely around the world, organized brilliantly from Switzerland by Christian Monstein. By providing an inexpensive and easily maintained receiver, this project rather brilliantly provides full-time broad-band monitoring of solar radio bursts.
