AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Tatitlek about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 370 miles to the southwest three days ago, and over southcentral Alaska a day ago, about 640 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 10,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Gulf of Alaska; at 10,000 feet, from the Bering Sea. 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.
