  In this paper, studying the inverse problem, we establish a curvature
compatibility condition on a spherically symmetric Finsler metric. As an
application, we characterize the spherically symmetric metrics of scalar
curvature. We construct a Berwald frame for a spherically symmetric Finsler
surface and calculate some associated geometric objects. Several examples are
provided and discussed. Finally, we give a note on a certain general
$(\alpha,\beta)$-metric that appears in the literature.
