Dan Hammers
Dan Schulz
Ruthanna Wantz
Balloon Name
Russell
Question to Answer:
How does the amount of ultraviolet radiation absorbed by ozone affect temperatures in the stratosphere?
Our Hypothesis:
We expect that the amount of ultraviolet radiation detected will increase with altitude, and temperature will increase accordingly.


Dug



Team Members: 
The Flying Monkeys

Andrew Redman
Ronald (Bub) Duttweiler
April Peterson
Sarah Kopa 
Balloon Name
Dug
Question to Answer:
How much infrared light is absorbed by the atmosphere at each altitude?
Our Hypothesis:
We believe that more infrared light will be absorbed at the top of the atmosphere.  As our balloon rises, we hope to see more infrared light in proportion to visible light.

Michael Ganger
Olivia Morse
Kayla Miller
Jordan Scott
Balloon Name

Question to Answer:
How does the concentration of CO2 change as altitude increases?
Our Hypothesis:
Compared to other gases in the air (N2, O2, etc.), we expect that CO2 will be less concentrated farther up into the atmosphere.

Put simply, the percentage of CO2 will be less at high altitudes.
