A high-altitude balloon project was launched to collect atmospheric data, with a focus on measuring ozone levels in the Western New York (WNY) region. The balloon carried sensors that gathered real-time ozone concentration data at various altitudes during its ascent. This information is crucial for understanding local air quality and tracking changes in the ozone layer that can impact human health and climate. The project helps raise awareness of regional environmental conditions and supports ongoing efforts to monitor and protect atmospheric health.
