Noise storms on metre wave-lengths originate high in the corona over particular sunspots. Generally, the enhanced radiation comes to a maximum when these sunspots cross the central meridian. If the radiation exceeds a fixed intensity, the sunspots are called noisy (R sunspots); the others are called quiet (Q sunspots). Unfortunately until now only a few interferometer measurements enabled us to know these ‘noisy sunspots’, but the strong directivity of this emission can be used to determine these sunspots in a statistical manner. We have done this for the sunspots having an average area bigger than 100 millionths of the sun, from 1947 to the middle of 1951. We have thus studied the statistical features for 350 sunspots, 160 of which are noisy and 190 quiet.
