High resolution spatio-temporal observations of noise storms in the meter wavelength range show the existence of many center-limb effects. We show that these effects cannot be interpreted without appealing to scattering effects which must take place close to the primary source of electromagnetic radiation. This contradicts STEREO-1 observations of very directional radiation which require that the scattering takes place far from the primary source, in order to be consistent with the observed source sizes. Using other results of the STEREO-1 Experiment, we suggest a model for the noise storm region in which the Type I bursts are emitted by gyromagnetic radiation of electron packets. The emission is very directional and oriented in the direction of the local magnetic field. The various center-limb effects and the spatio-temporal behavior can be explained using strong scattering effects in a fibrous medium.
