A broad survey of Ulysses high time resolution observations of solar type III associated Langmuir waves is presented. The Langmuir waves appear to be mostly in strongly turbulent state. They occur as intense broad and narrow emission peaks corresponding to envelope and collapsing solitons respectively. The electromagnetic emission properties of both envelope and collapsing solitons are presented in the context of solar type III radio bursts.
