AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Brevig Mission about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 12,900 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 16,110 miles back along its path. It came down from about 9,900 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from interior Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 19,790 miles to the east. 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.
