Decompression has several meanings, some of which are covered by several articles:* Data decompression, the action of reversing data compression * Decompression (physics), the release of pressure and the opposition of physical compression * Decompression (altitude). the reduction of pressure and the related physiological effects due to increase in altitude or other equivalent reduction of ambient pressure below normal atmospheric pressure * Uncontrolled decompression, catastrophic reduction of pressure in accidents involving pressure vessels such as aircraft * Decompression (diving), the reduction in pressure and the process of allowing dissolved inert gases to be eliminated from the tissues during ascent from a dive. Also relating to decompression (diving): * Decompression algorithm, or decompression model.
