THE 152-DAY PERIODICITY OF THE OCCURRENCE RATE OF SOLAR MICROWAVE BURSTS

It has been found for a long time, with analysing the variation of the relative number of sunspot, that there exist the periodicity of 11 years in solar activity. With the deepening research of the varied solar active phenomena, a series of periodicities with different periods have been also found in solar activity. For example, there is the periodicity of about 80 days for the occurrence, rate of proton flares for solar activity cycles 19 and 20 found by Ai and Fan ci:i at 1974. Recently a periodicity of about 152 days of the occurrence rate of solar flares has been proposed by some authors. a3’5】7:i The existence of this periodicity hsa been proved in the various solar flares. In this paper using the data of solar microwave bursts from January 1986 to December 1988, a Fourier analysis of the occurrence rate of solar microwave bursts has been made. There was no periodicity for the occurrence rate of solar microwave bursts of about 152 days found. This is a new result for solar cycle 22 in the first

There was no periodicity for the occurrence rate of solar microwave bursts of about 152 days found. This is a new result for solar cycle 22 in the first three years. It seems that the occurrence of 152 days period is intermittent.
