Abstract
Apparent motions of a number of ascending prominences of the limb-SD type (sudden disappearances) are investigated. The direction, the velocity of ascent and the correlation with flares are studied. The maximum velocity, which seems to deviate systematically from the radial direction, increases with height and shows a clear dependence on the distance to an initiating flare and its importance.
A good correlation between ascending prominences and solar radio emission has been found.
