AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Glacier View about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 8,630 miles to the east three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 10,010 miles back along its path. It came down from about 16,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Gulf of Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 8,680 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.
