AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Mertarvik about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 13,920 miles to the east three days ago, about 16,560 miles back along its path. 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 13,980 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.
