The distribution of magnetic field strengths in the interstellar gas is an important datum which relates to the formation of dense cloud complexes as well as to the distribution and propagation of cosmic rays. Brown and Chang (1983) found the brightness temperature of the radio continuum emission to be correlated with the HI column density NH and deduced a field strength which increases with particle density as <H> ~ <n>0.44. Troland and Heiles (1986) critized their approach and pointed out that Zeeman measurements suggest no increase in field strength for particle densities n ≤ 100 H-atoms cm-3.
