AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Sublette about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Texas three days ago, about 420 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. It came down from about 11,100 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from the Rockies; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Sublette stands on

Sublette’s center stands about 2,920 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,890 ft to 2,940 ft, a difference of 50 ft: nearly flat ground.

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