Yep, you're right. The thin layer between the atmosphere and the water itself is a very active zone of attraction and gas transfer. The atmosphere is 'pushing in' and the rising byproducts are attracted on a molecular level to this same spot. In fact, you could picture those molecules to look like mosquito larva attracted and hanging attached to that thin layer or surface skin ( water molecules and organics). At certain times of the day, you will notice this attraction stronger than others. It is a chain reaction of pH gas release, barametric pressure and temperature variance. The same is true of your outdoor foam fractionator performance.
