AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Jersey about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Ozarks three days ago, and over the Ohio Valley a day ago, about 670 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. Near the ground the air came from the Appalachians; at 10,000 feet, from the Pacific off the Northwest. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

MILE2
THE GROUND

What Jersey stands on

Jersey’s center stands about 840 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 690 ft to 930 ft, a difference of 240 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Alcovy Mountain, about 1,100 ft, 4 miles east-northeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Biotitic Gneiss / Mica Schist/ Amphibolite (amphibolite, biotite-gneiss, mica-schist), from the Precambrian to Paleozoic.

The section below crosses 2 rock units mapped at the surface.
