Short summary
Surface winds affect clouds by generating sea salt aerosols and evaporating water from the ocean and transporting them to the cloud base. Previous studies analysed these processes using satellite snapshots; here we use observations of evolving clouds which capture feedbacks due to time-dependent adjustments of clouds to aerosol changes. We show that even though sea salt changes droplet sizes, evaporation from the ocean surface has a stronger impact on clouds, thus hiding the real aerosol effect.
