AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Dillingham about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 10,910 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 14,140 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 13,300 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 14,850 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.
