From: The stratospheric Goldilocks zone is critical for high-altitude balloon navigation
Altitude Diversity plot with Goldilocks zone, and optimal altitude configurations for zero-pressure and super-pressure balloons. Zero-pressure balloons benefit most from increasing their altitude ceiling, due to their large feasible operating range. Super-pressures are constrained in operating range, and thus are optimized to fly at the “elbows” of the contours.
