  2. Introduction 1. Until recent time, quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) with periods from 1 to 15 minutes have been observed in solar microwave emission above the sunspots only (Gelfreikh et al., Solar Phys., V.185, P.177, 1999). Last time, QPPs with that periods became to appear during the flares also. In the microwaves. They was discribed in the papers: Zaitsev et al., Cosmic Research, V.46, P.301, 2008;Meszarosova et al., Astron. Astrophys., V.697, P. L108, 2009; Sych et al., Astron. Astrophys., V.505, P.791, 2009;Reznikova, Shibasaki, Astron. Astrophys., V.525, P.A112, 2011; Kim et al., The Astrophysical Journal Letters, V. 756, P. L36, 2012 In X-rays, minute QPPs were studied byJakimiec and Tomczak (Solar Phys., V.261, P.233, 2010) Studies of these oscillations became especially topicalin view oftheir possiblerelationship to flare energyrelease and heating ofthe solar corona: Nakariakov and Zimovets, Astrophys. J.L., V.730. P.L27, 2011; Zaitsev and Kislyakova, Radiophys. Quant. El., V.55. P.429. 2012. The aim 2. Study of the spatial structure of QPPs with periods of several minutes in the microwave emission of the solar flare on May 14, 2013.

  3. Methodology.Analysis of QPPs in Time Profiles 3. • 1. Time profiles of high-frequency component are calculated for each box using formula (1) HereF(t) is original flux (Stokes I or Stokes V) from a whole box, Fsm(t)is its low-frequency background obtained using method of running average with time intervals = 30500 s. • 2. The time profiles D(t) are studied using methods of correlation, Fourier and wavelet analysis. 3. For eacht : auto-correletion functions R(D) and their Fourier periodograms; wavelet spectra of D. Analysis of spatial structure of QPPs • 4. NoRH radio maps at 17 and 34 GHz are built (time cadenceis 1s); • 5. small boxes are selected in a different parts of flaring area; • 6. time profiles of the integrated fluxes are calculated for each box; • 7. the time profiles are studied using the method discribed in items 1-3.

  4. 4. Integrated (spatially unresolved) time profiles Fig. 1

  5. Cross-correlations of NoRH and NoRP signals 4. Fig. 2 Fig. 3 • The time profiles of the NoRH correlation amplitudes are well correlated with NoRP integrated flux Fig. 1. Their cross-correlation function at 17 GHz are shown in Fig. 2 (upper panel), and that for 34 GHz(35 GHz) (downer panel). • The total time profiles (without detrending) of the NoRH correlation amplitudes are well correlated at frequences 17 GHz and 34 GHz (Fig. 3) with correlation coefficient r ≈ 1.0. • The total time profiles (without detrending) of the NoRP fluxes are well correlated at frequences 17 GHz and 34 GHz (Fig. 3) with correlation coefficient r ≈ 0.8.

  16. Conclusions Spatially resolved quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) periods P = 50, 60, 100, 155, 180 s are found in microwave emission during solar flare on May 14, 2013. Data of Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) and Radio Polarimeters (NoRP) at 17 GHz and 34 GHz are used. The QPPs with the same period of P ≈ 1min originate from two flaring loops having different lengths L during the impulsive phase of the flare. These QPPs in the big loop delays over the QPPs from the small loop by Dt ≈ 40 s. The periods QPPs in the small loop correspond to the standing SMA mode. QPPs in the large loop are induced by oscillation of the small loop.
