Short summary
We gave first insight into the diel characteristics of the marine aerosol, especially during the day night transition period, to better understand which and how meteorological elements affect the marine aerosol. Overall, wind speeds and sea surface temperature indeed play critical roles in the regulation of aerosol production and diffusion processes, while the sea–air temperature difference is found to be the most vital factor related to the variations of marine aerosol distributions.
