Abstract
IT has been reported through the International Geophysical Year networks that three large solar flares were observed on July 3. Our radio observations at 9,000 Mc./s. showed some interesting phenomena in the polarization of radio outbursts which correspond to these optical flares. As is described elsewhere1, our receiver working at this frequency is so designed as to record four of the Stokes's parameters of polarization directly by the method of phase-modulation. Figs. 1–4 show the tapes which record I, V, Q and U, respectively.
