solar corona and wind Langmuir wave structure

This is more of a solar radio than optical thing. Let me know if its beside the point.

A couple of thoughts:

This has been examined since the 1970's! That is a surprise, I would have thought the technology was much more limited the further back we go.
It seems a huge expense to use the more current Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter to collect this data but then I suppose if it is already collected it is just a matter of interpreting the data.

LOFAR - The low frequency array is used here so I looked at a 6 minute explanation of what it is here.

The probes have additional capabilities that provide information unavailable from an Earth observatory. Optical imaging, particle counts and local EM field measurements help ground radio observation .
