The quantitative relationship between VLF phase deviations in sudden phase anomaly (SPA) events and associated solar X-ray fluxes in the 1-8 A band during solar flares is studied. The phase deviations in an 18.6 kHz VLF wave transmitted from a U.S. station and recorded at a Japanese station during the period June 1974 to May 1975 were used in this analysis, and the solar X-ray fluxes (F-zero) in the 1-8 A band were estimated from f(min) variations by means of the empirical expression provided by Sato (1975). The results show that the normalized phase variation increases with increasing log F-zero. This finding is explained theoretically by assuming that enhanced ionizations, produced in the lower ionosphere by a monochromatic solar X-ray emission, are responsible for the VLF phase deviations. The threshold X-ray flux required to produce a detectable SPA effect is approximately 1.5 times 10 to the minus third per sq cm per sec.
