Scientific paper
Most of what we know today about solar magnetic fields has been learned through the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of spectral lines. In this contribution, I review the different instruments used for solar polarimetry, the techniques we apply to extract information from the measurements, and the advantages and disadvantages of polarization studies from the ground. I will describe some recent results obtained from high precision, full Stokes spectropolarimetry in order to illustrate the potential of ground-based observations. In particular, I will discuss advances in the understanding of the structure of sunspot penumbrae, a topic of active research these days. Finally, expected developments and applications of solar polarimetry from the ground will be briefly mentioned.
