combination for scientific studies. IPS/FR on LOFAR is progressing very well with good solar wind/ CME results, and preliminary heliospheric RM/FR determination. Not discussed here, but could dynamic spectra of near-Sun Type II radio bursts detected with ground-based radio telescopes be used as triggers

weeks of cold weather melt-water poured into the rivers. Many burst their banks and flooding spread across England from the south to the west, not helped by rain and severe gales which damaged buildings and created waves which pounded against and even broke some flood defences. As river levels
