In this Study we have considered 24 IP Type II radio bursts observed by the three radio experiments and its corresponding solar event. In some cases we included the metric counterpart of each type II radio observed by ground-based radio intrument. We analized list of Type II radio burst observed by STEREO/SWAVES and Wind/WAVES radio intruments. 4

by Wind/WAVES and STEREO/SWAVES Type II radio bursts observed by Wind/WAVES and STEREO/SWAVES The properties of CMEs (Central position angle….) are seleted from CME catalog SOHO-LASCO In the case of properties of CMES STEREO, we selected from CME catalog Cactus.. Unfortulately, the first months of observations of STEREO there weren't records of CMEs and other days there were data gaps. 5

How to track the heliocentric evolution of fast CME/shocks? 6

CME/shock speed determination Reiner et al., (1998) showed that if we asume that the shock speed is constant and the plasma frequency decays as 1/R2, then the Type II emission is organized along a straight line. The frequency drift rate of a Type II emission generated by a CME-driven shock can provide direct measumerent of the shock speed. Assuming that the schock speed (v) is constant during a short interval and the solar wind is decreasing as 1/R2 knowing the slope of the frecuency drift and the solar wind density at 1 AU (no) we can aproximate the speed of the shock causing the emission: One under squar R Years later Gonzales-Esparza and … apply a new technique to obtain shock speed estimates by analyzing Type II radio burst observed in the kilometric domain. V is shock speed, n0 is the density normalized to 1AU, R0=1.5x10⁸ km, a=9 if the emission is Fundamental (F), and a=18 if the emission is harmonic (H). 7

(c) for every radio spectrum (1 min res.) we apply a Gaussian fit (dashed line) to the flux density distribution vs frequency to determine the central frequency.

Conclusions We analyzed a list of Type II radio burst with their corresponding solar association (CMEs and Flares). From the list, we selected 24 Type II radio bursts observed by the three radio experiments. We analyzed WIND/WAVES and STEREO/SWAVES radio data associated with CME/shocks. We applied a technique to infer the shock propagation speed at some intervals. We combined differents observations to infer the evolution speed of CME/shocks. Observations in white-light by SOHO-LASCO and SECCHI-AB, as well as in-situ observations, at diferents times covering different heliocentric distances . The three events analyzed show a gradual deceleration as they propagate through the heliosphere. 21
