Absolute atmospheres
(or Atmospheres absolute, or ATA):
The ambient pressure including the air column over the water.
The air column = 1 atm. at sea level. In sea water, another
atmosphere is added each 33FSW. 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 * .0303030) + 1 = 2.3939 ATA. to convert ATA
to FSW. ATA - 1 * 33 = FSW |
