The Funk-Minkowski transform F associates a function f on the sphere S 2 with its mean values (integrals) along all great circles of the sphere. Thepresented analytical inversion formula reconstruct the unknown function f completely if two Funk-Minkowski transforms, Ff and F∇f , are known. Another result of this article is related to the problem of Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition for tangent vector field on the sphere S 2 . We proposed solution for this problem which is used the Funk-Minkowski transform F and Hilbert type spherical convolution S.Keywords: Funk-Minkowski transform, Funk-Radon transform, spherical convolution of Hilbert type, Fourier multiplier operators, inverse operator, scalar and vector spherical harmonics, surface gradient, tangential spherical vector fields, Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition.Kazantsev, S.
