Abstract
The 0.8-7.6 GHz global and detailed radio spectra of the four most intense flares observed in the NOAA 9077 active region (July 10-14, 2000) are presented. The radio bursts of these flares and their sequence reveal features indicative of topological similarities among the flares under study. The drifting pulsation structures were found to be the typical signatures of these flares. Furthermore, many other fine structures such as narrowband drifting lines, drifting harmonic structure with zebra patterns, drifting branches of narrowband dm-spikes, and structures with fast positively and negatively drifting bursts are shown in the context of the whole radio flares. Some of them were observed for the first time. The relationships among them and the resulting interpretations are summarized. The characteristic periods of the drifting pulsation structures and the magnetic field in the zebra radio source are determined.

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

• If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
• You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
• You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
