Abstract :
The limb-viewing refraction inverse problem for retrieval of refraction index with spherical symmetry distribution in the Earth atmosphere is solved as an ill-posed problem, supposing; that the retrieval height interval is wider than the height interval for ray perigee in which the refraction is given. The problem is solved for the most important case of duct presence
