AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Sleetmute about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Bering Sea three days ago, about 1,180 miles back along its path. It came down from about 13,400 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the North Slope; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 690 miles to the northwest. 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.
