AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Savoonga about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 13,670 miles to the east three days ago, about 15,000 miles back along its path. It came down from about 14,400 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. 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.
