Scientific paper

A hypothesis based on the big flare syndrome (BFS) is proposed which attempts to explain the observed correlations between solar energetic proton fluxes and microwave burst parameters in terms of the statistical correlation between solar flare energy release and the magnitude of flare energy manifestations in general. Correlations between peak prompt proton fluxes and associated microwave burst parameters are examined for the period from June 1973 to August 1979 based on IMP 7 and 8 data for protons of energies 20-40 and 40-80 MeV. Correlation coefficients for proton and microwave data are found not to exceed those expected for the BFS hypothesis with the exception of the relation of peak proton fluxes to the time-integrated flux densities at 8800 and 15,400 MHz, which may be explained by the concurrent production of the energetic electrons responsible for the microwave bursts and the energetic protons. Results thus indicate that most correlations between proton fluxes and microwave and hard X-ray parameters can be accounted for by the BFS.
