That was a damn sight better question than many of the daft ones that
we get on this newsgroup.

And it hasn't been fully answered.

Apparently most of the water uptake happens when the ocean gyres slow
down but this is still moot as the research is only just beginning. And
this is all my own jump at a conclusion anyway.

So, in the still air when the water temperatures are greatest, even at
tropical latitudes the temperature is not enough to supply the quantity
required. Besides which, it takes a tremendous amount of heat to
evapourate water.

Afterward when oscillations occur; the water can be taken up due to
kinetics as spray rather than evapouration. But according to
percieved.... what is that word... ? the waves are caused by winds. So
what causes the winds?

And where does the 35 grams of salt per litre go to?
