AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Scammon Bay about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 13,380 miles to the east three days ago, and over the open Pacific a day ago, about 16,190 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the Bering Sea; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 19,220 miles to the east. 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.
