Attention is given to the application of the inverse problem formulated by Ustinov (1991) to the remote sensing of minor gaseous components and aerosol in the planetary atmosphere on the basis of observational data on reflected solar radiation. The radiative transfer equation is considered in a two-component medium consisting of the background molecular atmosphere and the atmospheric component being sounded. General expressions that describe variations of the intensity of the outgoing radiation due to variations of the extinction coefficient and scattering phase function of the component sounded are obtained. These expressions are used to formulate the inverse problems of the retrieval of the minor gaseous component mixing ratio, volume extinction coefficient of scattering aerosol, and microphysical parameters of aerosol particles. Expressions for weighting functions of the appropriate linearized inverse problems are obtained.
