AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Lower Kalskag about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 10,380 miles to the east three days ago, and over the Bering Sea a day ago, about 13,760 miles back along its path. It came down from about 14,200 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from interior Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 11,180 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.
