AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over Pierce about 5,000 feet above the ground was over British Columbia three days ago, and over the Canadian Prairies a day ago, about 2,300 miles back along its path. Near the ground the air came from the Canadian Prairies; at 10,000 feet, from the Gulf of Alaska. 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 Pierce stands on

Pierce’s center stands about 690 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 570 ft to 770 ft, a difference of 200 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Cherneyville Hill, about 1,020 ft, 14 miles west-southwest.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Silurian, undivided (dolostone), from the Silurian, 422 to 445 million years old.
