Short summary
Using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Day/Night Band (DNB) data, a new method is developed for retrieving nighttime aerosol optical thickness values through the examination of the dispersion of radiance values above an artificial light source. Preliminary results suggest that artificial light sources can be used for estimating regional and global nighttime aerosol distributions in the future.
