Spectroscopy of exoplanet atmospheres has the potential to provide a wealth of information on their atmospheric properties such as temperature and composition. Here we present a non-linear optimal estimation approach to retrieving exoplanet atmosphere properties from their spectra through a cost function minimization based on the techniques pioneered by [1]. With these tools we can determine the information content and the degrees of freedom for a given spectra and in turn determine, realistically, how much information in terms of temperature and composition can be obtained. We apply these techniques to the well-studied atmospheres of HD189733b, HD209458b, and G436b.
