AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Nelson Lagoon about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 12,980 miles to the east three days ago, and over the Pacific north of Hawaii a day ago, about 17,290 miles back along its path. It came down from about 9,500 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.
