Abstract
An expression to evaluate the information content of solutions of the radiative transfer equation other than the minimum-rms solution is derived. This expression can be applied to the problem of selecting the spectral location and number of tropospheric channels for a remote temperature sounder. Application is made to a minimum information solution. The results indicate that three tropospheric channels will suffice, and that it is possible to find a single set of channels which will be nearly optimal over all regions of the globe.
