AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Emmonak about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 11,650 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 16,710 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,600 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the North Slope; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 15,800 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.
