Short summary
This study introduces a novel method to retrieve aerosol optical depth (AOD) at night using ground-based microwave radiometers, overcoming the limitation of traditional shortwave-based techniques that cannot operate in darkness. This result enables continuous aerosol monitoring and highlights microwave radiometry's under-utilized potential in atmospheric research.
