AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Hooker about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Texas three days ago, about 610 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 11,100 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from Texas; at 10,000 feet, from the central Plains. It has stayed over land, which is why it feels dry. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Hooker stands on

Hooker’s center stands about 2,990 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,940 ft to 3,040 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Pleistocene and Pliocene deposits, undifferentiated (fine-detrital, coarse-detrital), from the Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old.

Rock at the surface along the line

Pleistocene and Pliocene deposits, undifferentiated

Fine-detrital, coarse-detrital. Age: Pliocene to Pleistocene, less than 5.3 million years old. About 24 mi of the line.

From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

Heights from Copernicus GLO-90 (a surface model: it includes buildings and tree canopy); summits from USGS GNIS; rivers from USGS NHDPlus HR; rock from the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation.
