AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Chistochina about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 670 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. 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 a point about 9,560 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.
