AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Golden about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the northern Rockies three days ago, and over the Great Lakes a day ago, about 1,500 miles back along its path. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from a point about 440 miles to the southwest; at 10,000 feet, from the California coast. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
