Abstract:

An iterative scheme and a technique of statistical regularization based on nonlinear programming were applied to optimize reconstruction of vertical profiles of the ozone concentration and aerosol extinction coefficient from data of space-based sensing of the Earth's twilight halo. These procedures enabled us to reduce the error of reconstruction down to 3% at a profile point and improved the profile resolution. As a result, the vertical structure of the reconstructed component can be obtained with a 100-m step. The procedures were applied to the experimental data obtained at Mir space station in 1989-1994.
