The Coronal Magnetic Structures Observing Campaign (CoMStOC) was designed to measure the magnetic field strength and determine its structure in the solar corona. Simultaneous soft X-ray and microwave data separate the contributions of the two dominant microwave emission mechanisms - gyroresonance and thermal bremsstrahlung. Where gyroresonance dominates, the magnetic field can be determined.
