Satellite reveals low-level cloud streaks formed by ship tracks. Sulfates/aerosols from ship exhaust stacks act as cloud condensation nuclei for water droplets to condense onto, creating highly reflective (and cooling) clouds. They are not intentionally 'spraying'. https://www.geographyrealm.com/ships-clouds-oceans/ https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/91608/signs-of-ships-in-the-clouds https://www.theinvadingsea.com/2024/01/23/aerosols-ship-tracks-cloud-formation-climate-change-sulfur-carbon-florida-state-research/ https://www.sandia.gov/labnews/2023/02/23/studying-ship-tracks/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_tracks
