Radio Astronomy at the Radio Astrophysical Observatory of the Latvian SSR Academy of Sciences

The history of the development of radio astronomy in Latvia is briefly described. Studies were directed primarily at solar activity, including quasi-periodic radio-brightness fluctuations. The results of theoretical studies of mechanisms of solar activity are also noted.
