The paper describes an algorithm for constructing the desired solution
of two problems relating to the remote sensing of the optical charact
eristics of the atmosphere and the ground surface in the visible and I
R areas of the spectrum and considers the agreement between experiment
al models and measurements. Possible implementations of the algorithm
are discussed based on the example of the processing of spectrometric
information acquired using the 'MKS M' apparatus on Salyut 7.
