AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Leoti about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the northern Rockies three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 830 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 11,200 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from Texas; at 10,000 feet, from the southern Rockies. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Leoti stands on

Leoti’s center stands about 3,300 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 3,270 ft to 3,350 ft, a difference of 80 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Loess (silt), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
