The seeder feeder phenomenon is so cool, upper level clouds being seeded by lower level ocean salt nuclei

Isn't it the opposite...?

I could be wrong but I thought it was upper level clouds seeding and enhancing lower level OES cells?

Yes, it's the mid to upper level cloud cover seeding the lower. 

The mechanism is that the lower cloud may not generate snow or a lot of snow on its own (generally warmer temps lacking ice nuclei activation). So when an ice crystal is introduced from above it activates the lower cloud to form ice crystals, and the rest is Scooter running around his yard flapping in the breeze.
