Application of improved discrepancy principle in inversion of atmosphere infrared remote sensing

Abstract

With the use of techniques in nonlinear problems, the IDP (improved discrepancy principle) method has been proposed and applied to the optimal smooth factor (parameter γ ) in the inversion process of atmosphere profiles from satellite observation. This method has also been used to inverse atmospheric parameters from the observation of new generation geostationary operational environmental satellite (GOES-8). Results show that this method is more accurate than that in use.
