AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Deering about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 12,000 miles to the east three days ago, about 14,600 miles back along its path. It came down from about 12,200 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Bering Sea; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 12,650 miles to the east. 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.
