AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Beluga about 5,000 feet above the ground was over southcentral Alaska three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 400 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the Gulf of Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from interior Alaska. 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.
