AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Aleknagik about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 1,730 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It came down from about 9,200 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. It feels dry all the same. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
