Parent-flare 2.8-GHz event energy is correlated with peak riometer absorption for 47 Polar-Cap Absorption (PCA) events which occurred during the nineteenth and twentieth solar cycles. Thirty-two of these events had riometer absorption of or = 2.0 dB. The least-squares relationship between the peak absorption (A) and the burst energy (E) is given by A(dB) = 0.0116 E to the 0.5555 power with a coefficient correlation, R, of 0.59, where E is given in sfu-min. The peak absorption predicted by this formula is within a factor of 2 of that actually observed for 22 of the 32 principal PCA events (69 percent) and within a factor of 3 for 28 of the 32 events (88 percent). A correlation for the effect of the interplanetary magnetic field on particle propagation is considered in the appendix.
