AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Ouzinkie about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, and over the Gulf of Alaska a day ago, about 580 miles back along its path. It came down from about 11,000 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from interior Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from the Bering Sea. 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.
