Abstract
Remote sounding of earth's atmosphere from upwelling infrared radiance s is highly non-linear. A linearization step is typically involved in seeking for suitable solutions. This letter discusses possible problem s which arise when combining the linearization step with schemes aimed at solving the inverse problem. Possible strategies which could be ab le to get rid of such problems are discussed, too.
