Short summary
Sea spray affects air–sea interaction, cloud microphysics, and the radiative budget. However, meteorological processes at the wind-gust level complicate the physical interpretation of measured aerosol particle properties. We used meter-scale models to track the life history of thousands of particles under different conditions to show that investigators must account for key factors to link observations at aircraft level to sea-spray emissions at the ocean's surface.
