From: Substantial Seasonal Contribution of Observed Biogenic Sulfate Particles to Cloud Condensation Nuclei

Figure 6

Diagram illustrating the three marine sources of particles, namely primary sea salt (Estimated Salt) from bubble bursting, condensation of DMS oxidation products onto existing particles (Added Sulfate particles) in the boundary layer, and nucleation of DMS oxidation products in the free troposphere before entrainment down to the boundary layer (New Sulfate particles). CCN contributions for NAAMES1 (November 2015) and NAAMES2 (May-June 2016) illustrate the substantial seasonal differences.
