Abstract: In this paper, we are interested in some inverse problem that consists in recovering the so-called insolation function in the 2-D Sellers model on a Riemannian manifold that materializes the Earth's surface. For this nonlinear problem, we obtain a Lipschitz stability result in the spirit of the result by Imanuvilov-Yamamoto in the case of the determination of the source term in the linear heat equation. The paper complements an analogous study by Tort-Vancostenoble in the case of the 1-D Sellers model.
