The progress made during the past four years in the study of interplanetary Type III radiobursts, both in the experimental and the theoretical-computational area, is reviewed. The outstanding experimental result was the first in-situ observation of electrostatic waves at the local plasma frequency, associated with the radio emission at twice the plasma frequency. An important aspect of these observations was that the electrostatic waves were in the form of localized patches of turbulence, with an amplitude consistent with theory. Another observation of extreme importance was the simultaneous measurement of Type III bursts and of the associated electrons near the earth. This measurement revealed an important scaling law connecting the radio intensity and the electron flux. A key feature revealed in the above observations was the predominance of second harmonic emission for the low frequencies. A major advance in the theoretical area has been the introduction of strong turbulence theory to the study of Type III solar radio bursts.
