Abstract
The Mauna Loa K-corona data were examined to determine the density in regions of type III activity which were observed during March and April, 1971, at Clark Lake Radio Observatory. It is found that these regions avoided the centres of dense structures in the corona. Both the K-corona data and the radio data indicated densities characteristic of the ‘quiet’ corona. The density gradients determined from the K-corona and the radio data agreed to within their formal errors.
