The space-based SIRA (Solar Imaging Radio Array) will provide a
powerful capability to track high energy particles from solar
flare and CME sites through interplanetary/heliospheric space
all the way to Earth. Together with two other overlapping planned
radio interferometers, i.e., FASR (Frequency-Agile Solar Radiotelescope)
and LOFAR (Low-Frequency Array) the entire plasma frequency range
from 30 GHz all the way down to the plasma frequency cutoff of 30 kHz
at 1 AU will be covered.
These instruments will track the magnetic trajectory of high
energy particles, beam-driven radio emission, and localize the
acceleration sites in the corona or interplanetary shocks.
We simulate some CME and type III events, as they will be mapped
with these instruments, using realistic scattering functions
of radio waves on coronal and heliospheric density inhomogeneities.
