AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Arietta about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Canada three days ago, and over Ontario a day ago, about 2,470 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from Canada; at 10,000 feet, from British Columbia. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses and the GFS beyond them, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Arietta stands on

Arietta’s center stands about 2,300 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,960 ft to 2,940 ft, a difference of 980 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Lewey Mountain, about 3,730 ft, 13 miles north-northeast.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Interlayered metasedimentary rock and granitic, charnockitic, mangeritic, or syenitic gneiss (metasedimentary, gneiss), from the Mesoproterozoic, 1 to 1.6 billion years old.

The section below crosses 8 rock units mapped at the surface.
