Radio Studies of the Middle Corona: Current State and New Prospects in the Next Decade
The middle corona, defined as the region between ~1.5-6 solar radii, is a critical transition region that connects the highly structured lower corona to the outer corona where the magnetic field becomes predominantly radial. This paper discusses the current state of radio studies on the middle corona, challenges to obtaining a more comprehensive picture, and recommends an outlook.
