Post What is that mist that forms around wing root shortly after takeoff

Hello Gentlemen, I couldn't help but notice a fine mist that appears around the wing root of jets just after takeoff. It forms a perfect airfoil and disappears rapidly. Also, it forms on perfectly clear days with no visible moisture present. What creates this phenomenon?
