Observation and Solar Physics The 2840 MHz polarimeter observe the sun and obtain the total coming flux at 2840 MHz radio frequency. Solar radio dynamic spectrometers observe the sun and obtain the circular-polarization flux at series of radio frequency (neighboring narrow band). The observed data can be calibrated to standard flux data in solar flux unit (s.f.u). 1 s.f.u=10-22 W m-2 Hz-1 Solar radio observation helps to understand the characterization of acceleration sites, mechanism and evolution of energetic electrons. Combined radio and X-ray observation helps to understand the flare and eruptive phenomena. Radio diagnostics allowing to measure the coronal magnetic field. Radio bursts have good relationship with flare and CMEs (ICMEs). Thus might forecast the arrive time of shocks at the earth as well as on Space Weather studies. (type IV, type II or complex type III)
Solar radio burst and geomagnetic storms Type IV event Probability of a flare to be associated with a SSC versus its radio importance, i.e. the energy radiated at 2.8 GHz (adapted from Caroubalos 1964)
The energy of radio burst and the transit time of SSC

Observation of 2840 MHz
One day observation at 2840 MHz
Data archive and analysis method The data processing software was written in IDL language. Some event supplied data or figure on the web site. It can be download. All the data (if there’s observation) can be download by E-mail request now since large amount of data: tanchm@nao.cas.cn. The 2840 MHz data can be processed real time and download on the internet. (To be done). Calibration, Clean (normalize, wavelet, remove noise)
Conclusion The dynamic solar radio spectrometers located at Huairou were put into good operation since 1994. While 2840 MHz polarimeter, earlier than 1977. They are valuable instrument for the study of solar bursts in microwaves, and supplied large amount of observation data for studying the relationship with flare, CMEs (ICMEs), MC (SSCs) et al.
