AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Tetlin about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Arctic Ocean three days ago, and over interior Alaska a day ago, about 1,060 miles back along its path. It came down from about 15,600 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Arctic Ocean; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 7,250 miles to the east. 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.
