One of the first examples of the modem application of remote sensing of the composition of the atmosphere was the assertion by Hartley in 1880 that the UV absorption in the solar absorption spectrum was attributable to ozone. In this manner the earth s stratospheric ozone layer was discovered. Since this pioneering work and especially in die past 30 years, there has been rapid progress in the development of atmospheric remote sensing techniques. 

In the next few years a number of important atmospheric remote sensing missions are planned by NASDA, NASA and ESA. NASDA has constructed a second ADEOS satellite which will have POLDER and ILAS-II (Improved Limb Atmospheric Sounder) on board. The NASA-TERRA platform was launched at the end of 1999 and has the MOPITT instrument (Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere), which aims to measure vertical profiles of carbon monoxide and methane in the troposphere. MOPITT is a Canadian instrument supported by an international science team.

In atmospheric remote-sensing applications, the statistical interpretation of constrained inversion often is associated with the studies by Strand and Westwater [15-16] and Rodgers [19] and the following formulations ... 

For constraining a retrieval by a priori estimates a as in Eqs. (33-35), one can use information about typical magnitudes and variabilities of the parameters a. For example, in atmospheric remote sensing applications.
