AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Bushyhead about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Texas three days ago, and over the Ozarks a day ago, about 890 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It rose from near the ground on the way. Near the ground the air came from Texas; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Plains. It feels humid. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Bushyhead stands on

Bushyhead’s center stands about 770 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 690 ft to 880 ft, a difference of 190 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Senora Formation (sandstone, shale), from the Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old.

The section below crosses 6 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Senora Formation

Sandstone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.

Boggy Formation

Fort Scott Limestone

Limestone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.

Alluvium

Fine-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 1 mi of the line.

Labette Formation

Oolagah Formation

Limestone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 0.2 mi of the line.

THE WATER

Where Bushyhead’s rain goes
