AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Welty about 5,000 feet above the ground was over the southern Plains three days ago, and over the Ozarks a day ago, about 860 miles back along its path. The nine paths traced from around the city fan out, so treat that as a best guess. Near the ground the air came from the southern Plains; at 10,000 feet, from the northern Rockies. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What Welty stands on

Welty’s center stands about 730 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 710 ft to 860 ft, a difference of 150 ft: gently rolling country.

The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.

Sandstone, shale. Age: Carboniferous, 299 to 324 million years old. About 0.4 mi of the line.

From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 1 smaller unit along the line are not listed.

THE WATER

Where Welty’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in Welty reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Deep Fork, the North Canadian, the Canadian, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 1,130 river miles.

Welty≈ 1,130 mi · the Gulf of America
FROM THE CENTER OF WELTY ≈ 1,130 mi to the Gulf of America Deep Fork → North Canadian → Canadian → Arkansas → Mississippi
