Some new results in the investigation of the middle atmosphere from space using the daytime horizon scanning method

Abstract

The results of the restoration of the optical parameters of the El Chichon aerosol cloud at Lambda 2.2 micron are presented. The eight channel teleradiometer FAZA for visible and near infrared spectral regions is described in some detail. Mathematical aspects of data processing for the ill-posed problems are discussed. The results of the restoration of the volume emission rate of the molecular oxygen on Lambda 1.27 micron in the middle atmosphere and of the aerosol on Lambda 0.84 micron are presented
