Because the available water is spread among more particles, the cloud droplets that form in the ships' wakes are smaller than typical Marinelayer cloud droplets.
由于这些水分分散在更多的颗粒中，在船舶航迹中形成的云滴比典型的海洋层云滴要来的小。

In Marinelayer clouds, an abundance of small particles may also delay the onset of precipitation, which depends on cloud droplets colliding and coalescing into larger, heavier drops.
由于降水取决于云滴相互碰撞并凝聚成更大更重的水滴，海洋云层中若存在大量的微粒还会推迟降水的发生。

Sediment above and below the gypsum layer contained tiny marine fossils, indicating open-ocean conditions.
