AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Naalehu about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the Pacific south of Hawaii three days ago, about 730 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from the open Pacific; at 10,000 feet, from the Pacific south of Hawaii. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.
