title: Influence of atmospheric absorption on satellite auroral observations.
abstract: A technique for the inversion of satellite auroral brightness observations is developed, which takes into account the backscattering of light from the snow-covered ground and the effects of atmospheric absorption.It is shown that the effects of atmospheric absorption are of importance in the inversion of satellite auroralobservations to obtain auroral brightness.
