In this study we have formulated the multi-channel method for retrieval of the O(P-3), O-3 and CO2 volume mixing ratios, C-v,(O(3P)), C-v,C-O3 and C-v,C-cO2,C- altitude profiles in the daytime mesosphere and lower thermosphere from the simultaneous measurements of intensities of three emissions formed by transitions from three electronically vibrationally excited states, O-2(b(1)Sigma(+)(g), v = 2), O-2(b(1)Sigma(+)(g), v = 1) and O-2(b(1)Sigma(+)(g), v = 0). Only using the YM2011 model of kinetics of 03 and 02 photolysis (Yankovsky et al., 2016. J. Molec. Spectr., 327, 209-232) allowed us to consider in detail the complex groups of the processes of excitation and quenching of the states O-2(b(1)Sigma(+)(g), v = 0, 1, 2), the transitions from which form the system of the O-2 Atmospheric bands observed in the dayglow of the Earth. For the altitude range 50-85 km we developed in details the two-channel method of simultaneously retrieval of the volume mixing ratios of O-3 and CO2. For this method, we succeeded in obtaining formulas that can be used for remote sensing of the Earth atmosphere from satellites.
