AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Susitna North about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Gulf of Alaska three days ago, and over southcentral Alaska a day ago, about 300 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It came down from about 10,100 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from southcentral Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 7,400 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.
