Abstract

We have analyzed type III-\(l\) radio bursts associated with SEP events (>10 MeV) during solar cycles 23 and 24 respectively. We have studied the properties of type III radio bursts and SEP events. We have also analyzed the correlation between the properties of type III-\(l\) bursts and SEPs. We found that the mean duration of type III-\(l\) bursts and their deviation for solar cycle 24 is higher. The log peak intensity of SEP and its deviation is higher for solar cycle 23, which suggests that the SEP events for solar cycle 23 are faster and long-duration events. From the correlations, we conclude that the type III-\(l\) radio burst properties for solar cycle 23 contribute more towards the SEP events as compared to solar cycle 24.
