AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Sverdrup about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the northern Plains three days ago, and over the southern Plains a day ago, about 1,370 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 12,100 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.
