abstract = "The digital, decimetric (950-2500 MHz) Brazilian Solar
Spectroscope (BSS, Sawant, H.S., Subramanian, K.R., Faria, C., et
al. Brazilian Solar Spectroscope (BSS). Solar Phys. 200, 167-176,
2001) with high time (10-1000 ms) and frequency (1-10 MHz)
resolution is in regular operation since April, 1998, at the
National Space Research Institute (INPE) at Sao Jose dos Campos,
Brazil. The BSS has now been upgraded with a new digital data
acquisition and data processing system. The new version of the BSS
has improved the observational possibilities with the capability
to record up to 200 frequency channels available in the selectable
frequency range 950-2500 MHz. The GPS receiver permits the
acquisition of data with time accuracy in the order of 0.1 ins.
The software system of the BSS is composed by two distinct
modules: the first, data acquisition system provides a flexible
Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows one to choose the
observational parameters. The second module is the real time
visualization system that permits real time visualization of the
observed dynamic spectrum and additionally allows procedures for
visualization and preliminary analysis of the recorded solar
spectra. Using the new visualization system, we have realized two
new types of dm-radio fine structures: narrow band type Ill bursts
with positive as well as negative group frequency drift and dots
emissions arranged in zebra-like and fiber-like chains.
Furthermore, we have found flare generated fast wave trains
according to their tadpole signature in wavelet power spectra for
a decimetric type IV radio event (June 6, 2000 flare).",
