Abstract. Possibilities of lidar sensing of the upper atmosphere and the F-layer of the ionosphere using compact optical-range lidar able to be mounted on nanosatellites, are studied. Methods of mathematical modeling of processes of attenuation (absorption) of pulsed lidar radiation are applied. It is shown that the problem of reconstruction of the spatial distribution of the coefficient of light absorption by atmospheric inhomogeneities may be reduced to Radon-type inverse problem, and that fast reconstruction algorithms of convolutional type may be applied to solve the problem.
Keywords: ionosphere F-layer, atmosphere, nanosatellites, small-sized lidar, coefficient lidar pulse absorption, inverse problem, reconstruction algorithms, convolution method, projection mapping
