An interval estimation method is suggested as an effective principle for estimating the atmospheric parameters from measurements of solar radiation intensity. The size of the confidence set is regarded as a quantitative measure of information output of a particular experiment with respect to the parameters of the object under study. As an illustration, estimates of the total ozone and aerosol contents, the optical aerosol parameter, and of the vertical ozone distribution are presented.
