AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Eagle about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the North Slope three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 820 miles back along its path. It came down from about 14,800 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from a point about 430 miles to the northeast; at 10,000 feet, from the Bering Sea. 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.
