A short compilation of various radio methods of the determination of magnetic fields in the solar corona is given which, completed by observations in other spectral ranges (e.g. the optical and X-ray ranges), results in a complex picture of the magnetic field. Some topics of interest are the following:

  1. (1) Comparison with a standard reference magnetic field in the solar corona,

  2. (2) Possible evidence of substantial small-scale fluctuations of the magnetic field (e.g. in active regions),

  3. (3) Indication of magnetic fields substantially in excess of the standard distribution (e.g. in limb flare events).
