AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Koliganek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, about 1,560 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the Bering Sea; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 8,760 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.
