✦ Synopsis

An improved scheme for measuring and analyzing the magnetic field of flares is presented in general outline form. The techniques employed during the last solar cycle are reviewed very briefly. The point is made that those techniques were inadequate due to fundamental limitations in the data. A realistic scheme for acquiring the necessary data is then proposed. The scheme is realistic in that it makes only those assumptions which appear to be indeed valid, and it presupposes only instrumental techniques which are presently available. It is suggested that, with this improved data, the structure and evolution of the pre-fiare magnetic field can be calculated with sufficient accuracy to form the basis of theoretical models.
