Abstract. The article is devoted to the systematic analysis of passive remote sensing of the atmosphere using the Shewhart method. It is shown that the Shewhart approach can be applied to the selection of statistical accuracy characteristics of measuring systems used to control statistical accuracy indicators of controlled processes, which include the total water vapor in the atmosphere measured by solar photometers included in the mea­suring network. The optimization problem of selecting the accuracy characteristics of the measuring system and the operator is formulated and solved with known statistical indi­cators of the variability of total water vapor in the atmosphere at which the repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) index reaches a maximum value. The optimal function of the dependence of the standard deviation of the measuring system on the standard deviation of the total water vapor is calculated, at which the % R&R index reaches a maximum.

Keywords: atmosphere, Shewhart method, optimization, ground‑based remote sensing, system analysis, solar photometer, water vapor in atmosphere, standard deviation
