AB: Type II radio bursts at decameter-hectometric (DH) and kilometric wavelengths are indicative of CME-driven shocks in the interplanetary medium. Only a subset of these type II bursts continue from the DH to the km regimes. We report on a study of these long-lasting type II bursts using data from the Wind/WAVES experiment in conjunction with white-light coronal mass ejection (CME) data from SOHO. We find the majority of these events (80 percent) are also associated with metric Type II bursts. We also studied the properties of the associated CMEs and found them to be the most energetic when compared to CMEs associated with bursts in any single wavelength regime.
