Abstract :
This communication describes a procedure to estimate the vertical profiles of stratospheric aerosols based on the visible data to be obtained by ADEOS/ILAS. The authors´ algorithms mainly consist of two parts: the first process is baseline estimation for the observed transmittance spectrum, followed by the inversion process that derives vertical profiles of atmospheric extinction from ILAS transmittance data. Model calculations with an ILAS simulator show that the authors´ treatment provides quick and accurate results within the expected domain of validity
