AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Golovin about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 11,850 miles to the east three days ago, about 14,500 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from interior Alaska; 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.
