AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Hyder about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Pacific north of Hawaii three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 2,330 miles back along its path. It came down from about 13,900 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. 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.
