We present our earlier measurement of the coronal fields above a sunspot in the active region, NOAA #4741, which was obtained using microwave spectroscopy from the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) in a form that allows comparison with theoretical models. Our empirical results for the coronal fields are compared with several theoretical models in order to understand the magnetic structure of a static sunspot. It is found that the presence of transverse pressure gradients should be considered to get a satisfactory fit.
