The ambient pressure including the air column over the water. 2, record 1, English, - absolute%20atmosphere
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The air column = 1 atm. at sea level. In sea water, another atmosphere is added each 33 FSW. There is an increase in pressure per foot of sea water equivalent to 1/33 or .03030303. So ATA may be calculated by multiplying the depth (FSW) by .0303030 and then adding 1 for the air above the water. i.e. the ATA at 46 FSW = (46 [asterisk] .0303030) + 1 = 2.3939 ATA. to convert ATA to FSW.ATA -1 [asterisk] 33 = FSW. 2, record 1, English, - absolute%20atmosphere

Somme de la pression atmosphérique au niveau de la mer et de la pression décomptée de la surface de la mer à la profondeur de la mesure. 2, record 1, French, - atmosph%C3%A8re%20absolue
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La pression atmosphérique représente la pression que l'atmosphère exerce au-dessus de nous. Au niveau de la mer, elle est de 760 mmHg, ou 1 bar. Cette pression augmente, dans l'eau, d'un bar tous les 10.33 m. On exprime la pression absolue, ou atmosphère absolue (ATA), par rapport au vide total. C'est l'unité utilisée en médecine hyperbare. 3, record 1, French, - atmosph%C3%A8re%20absolue
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'expression de l'atmosphère absolue, ou ATA, est égale à la pression lue au manomètre de plongée plus celle qui est lue au baromètre sur le lieu. 2, record 1, French, - atmosph%C3%A8re%20absolue
