What are "condesdation nuclei"?


"condesdation(sic) nuclei" are impurities in the water from which evaporation happens.

In the ocean, they can be formed from the waste of plankton, or simply be microscopic impurities of any kind. Due to salt's lattice nature, I don't feel it's a likely suspect.

YMMV, SPSFD.

Besides, restricting evaporation means forcing water to get warmer - not colder.
