AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Newtok about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 11,830 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 16,930 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,400 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.
