Inverse problems in space research
This talk is divided into two parts. In the first part, we
introduce the theory of inverse problems and present some methods:
regularization technique (operators, variational methods and
artificial neural networks). In the second part, we present and
discuss some inverse problems arising in different fields of space
research: space science (maps of cosmic background radiation,
magneto-teluric inversion), space engineering (damage
identification in aerospace structures), oceanography (ocean
optical properties), and meteorology (atmospheric temperature and
humidity from satellite data).
