In this article, the atmospheric parameters computing algorithm based on simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation is proposed. Perturbation effect is used to obtain the approximate gradient of cost function, which can guide the searching to achieve the optimal solution gradually. The proposed algorithm avoids the complicated derivative computing for the cost function, and without designing the tangent linear and adjoint operators.
