AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over New Canaan about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the North Atlantic three days ago, and over New England a day ago, about 1,380 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from Quebec; at 10,000 feet, from the western Atlantic. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
