Atmospheric processes that generate internal variability are known to operate on time scales ranging from virtually instantaneous (e.g., condensation of water vapour in clouds) up to years (e.g., troposphere - stratosphere or inter-hemispheric exchange). (ipcc.ch)
In addition, some particles provide opportunities for the condensation of water vapour to form water droplets, the ingredients of fog. (britannica.com)
Once airborne, the salt particles would act as «cloud condensation nuclei», meaning they would facilitate the condensation of water vapour into liquid. (carbonbrief.org)
