AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Anaktuvuk Pass about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 7,700 miles to the east three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 9,620 miles back along its path. It came down from about 18,400 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
