Addition of Work Rate and Temperature Information to the Augmented NMRI Standard (ANS) Data Files in the "he8n25" Subset of the USN Primary Data Set

Abstract

The USN primary decompression data set is a collection of dive profiles that the U.S. Navy uses to calibrate probabilistic decompression models. Each dive profile describes the depth/time/breathing gas history, number of participating divers, and decompression outcome of experimental dives. Original research reports, research protocols, databases, and diving logs describing the experimental dives were searched for work and temperature information. A subset of the USN primary decompression data set was augmented so that dive profiles included diver whole body oxygen consumption (estimated from descriptions of work performed), work type, posture, water temperature, and diving dress.
