Simultaneous retrieval of atmospheric temperatures and ray paths from occultation spectraSimulated equivalent width data of weak lines in solar occultation spectra were analyzed to retrieve both the solar atmospheric temperature profile and the tangent heights of the rays. It was assumed that the mixing ratio of the absorbing gas was known, but it is not necessary to know the satellite height. By analyzing lines with temperature dependent and temperature independent intensities, temperatures accurate to 1 K and tangent heights to 0.25 km were determined over the range 20 to 90 km.
