Sentence examples for surface interval from inspiring English sources

We did not find any significant difference in depth, diving time, bottom time, surface interval, and GF among the 20 divers.

Depth, diving time, bottom time, and surface interval were recorded for each dive, using a free-diving computer (UP-X1 Omersub, Spa, Monza Brianza, Italy).

Therefore, the assumption that the dive table surface interval occurs at normal atmospheric pressure is invalidated by flying during that surface interval, and an otherwise-safe dive may then exceed the dive table limits.

After a one hour surface interval a second dive is conducted at the same site at 16 m.

This result is not unexpected considering that the dive duration of elephant seals is about as long as the time an ARGOS satellite is overhead (20 min), meaning that all of the location information will most likely be transmitted during a single 2 to 3 minute surface interval.

DCS has been confirmed in rare cases of breath-holding divers who have made a sequence of many deep dives with short surface intervals; and it may be the cause of the disease called taravana by South Pacific island natives who for centuries have dived by breath-holding for food and pearls.

Little is known about the distribution much less the ecology of beaked whales due to long, deep dives, and short surface intervals [3], [6].

Locations of species that make short duration dives and spend extended periods on the surface (sea lions and fur seals) had less error than species like elephant seals that spend more time underwater and have shorter surface intervals.

In elephant seals, very long dive durations and very short surface intervals between dives leaves few opportunities for the ARGOS tag to transmit signals to overhead satellites, which produces the poorest ARGOS track qualities [2].

If sampling frequency does not allow for frequent sampling of surface intervals between dives, it is not possible to remove all the noise in the time series without eroding the surface signal (i.e. combining measurements belonging to adjacent dives due to over-smoothing), preventing the next step from properly identifying the surface.

[12] Whale foraging dives are characterized by rapid descents and ascents to reduce transit time to prey aggregations [13], [14], and high metabolic rates in gray seals while motionless at the surface support the idea that marine mammals process food during extended surface intervals following deep-water foraging [15].
