Insights into Tikhonov regularization: application to trace gas column retrieval and the efficient calculation of total column averaging kernels

Insights are given into Tikhonov regularization and its application to the retrieval of vertical column densities of atmospheric trace gases from remote sensing measurements. The study builds upon the equivalence of the least-squares profile-scaling approach and Tikhonov regularization metho...
