AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over False Pass about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 13,410 miles to the east three days ago, and over the Pacific north of Hawaii a day ago, about 16,720 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,900 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 13,970 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.
