Abstract
A hydrostatic pressure sensor, one use for which is to initiate the automatic deployment of emergency marine safety equipment, when a specified depth below the water level is exceeded. The sensor uses a novel method of compensating for ambient air temperature and barometric pressure as a means of reducing the errors in depth sensing caused by changes in the above ambient conditions.
