AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Cooper Landing about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 280 miles to the southwest three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 530 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,500 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Gulf of Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 7,410 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.
