Abstract
Most balloon trajectory prediction algorithms date back to when computational time was expensive and therefore use many simplifications. This paper presents a discussion of these simplifications, their effects, and the efforts made to increase the accuracy of trajectory predictions in the HABtk balloon flight prediction software.
