Summary: | This paper presents the characterization of solar radio burst type III and IV obtained from e-CALLISTO website. Solar radio burst (SRB) is one of the tools in space weather studies as each type of SRB indicates the production of solar activity at that moment which can also bring it towards the prediction of solar events. Generally, SRB has five different type of emissions which are named as type I, II, III, IV and V, this paper will only focus on type III and IV. Data of type III and IV bursts were selected on 15th Sept. 2015 and 27th Feb. 2018 respectively and discussions on each type of bursts include two stations to make a comparison. At the end of this work, type III bursts show a rapidly drift structure from high to low frequency, strongly associated to solar flares and the burst is due to Langmuir waves. Meanwhile, type IV bursts are recognized by its broadband continuum with rapidly fine structure and they act as a hint of geomagnetic storm commencement. More details on the formation of these burst are discussed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
