AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Tununak about 5,000 feet above the ground was over a point about 18,290 miles to the east three days ago, about 17,180 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the Bering Sea; at 10,000 feet, from a point about 14,100 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.
