Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over San Francisco about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the California coast three days ago, about 890 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the California coast; at 10,000 feet, from the open Pacific. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
