Abstract
Recent observations of the simultaneous measurement of plasma waves and radiation, and electrons and radiation during type III bursts are reviewed. One-dimensional quasilinear relaxation results are considered and found to be in reasonable agreement with observations, but often inconsistent when weak turbulence wave-wave and strong turbulence processes are included. Strong turbulence processes are considered and soliton collapse is found to be important, but the steady-state plasma wave distribution in a plasma of three-dimensionally collapsing solitons is presently unknown. Radiation processes are considered from both weak and strong turbulence. Subsidiary problems such as the origin of observed and inferred plasma wave clumping are briefly considered and directions for future research are suggested.
