This paper discusses the application of the inverse problem stated in general form in a previous paper to the problem of the remote sensing of minor gaseous constituents and an aerosol in a planetary atmosphere on the basis of observations of the solar radiation reflected from this atmosphere. The radiation transport equation in a two-component medium consisting of a molecular background atmosphere and the atmospheric constituent being sensed is studied. General expressions are derived for variations in the intensity of the outgoing radiation in terms of the extinction coefficient and the scattering phase function of the constituent being sensed. The expressions are used to formulate inverse problems of reconstructing the mixing ratio of a minor gaseous constituent, the extinction coefficient of a scattering aerosol, and microscopic physical properties of the aerosol particles. Expressions are derived for the weight functions of the corresponding linearized inverse problems.
