AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Deltana about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 8,900 miles to the east three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 10,870 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 13,400 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from southcentral Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 9,550 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.
