'Ship tracks' above the northern Pacific Ocean show up as long lines on this image taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer onboard NASA’s Aqua satellite in 2010. These patterns are produced when fine particles from ship exhaust float into a moist layer of atmosphere. The particles seed new clouds or attract water from existing cloud particles.
