AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Seiling about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the central Plains three days ago, and over Texas a day ago, about 660 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 10,300 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from Texas; at 10,000 feet, from the southern Rockies. 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 Seiling stands on

Seiling’s center stands about 1,760 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,680 ft to 1,880 ft, a difference of 200 ft: rolling country.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Rush Springs Formation (sandstone), from the Permian, 252 to 299 million years old.

The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Terrace Deposits

Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 16 mi of the line.

Rush Springs Formation

Alluvium

Fine-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 2 mi of the line.

Marlow Formation

Sandstone, siltstone. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

Cloud Chief Formation

Shale, siltstone, sandstone. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 0.3 mi of the line.

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

THE WATER

Where Seiling’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Seiling reaches the Gulf of America by way of Seiling Creek, the North Canadian, the Canadian, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 1,420 river miles.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
Seiling≈ 1,420 mi · the Gulf of America
FROM THE CENTER OF SEILING ≈ 1,420 mi to the Gulf of America Seiling Creek → North Canadian → Canadian → Arkansas → Mississippi

Lakes on the way: Canton Lake, Murray Lake and Ozark Lake.

600 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Seiling; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
