Abstract

A new method for atmospheric remote sensing from the ground is described. The nonlinear deconvolution method and the reference effective instrument function are used to increase the spectral resolution. The nonlinear least-squares method is used to retrieve the atmospheric parameter profile. This method can increase the measurable altitude of remote sensing and improve the precision of atmospheric inversion.
