Psychrometric charts, below sea level

Does anyone know where I can find Psychrometric charts for below sea level, down to 5000 ft.

If such things exist I would guess that the Navy would be the place to look.

Otherwise, resort to the formulas.
 
pennpoint,

I am working on an underground mining project and require Enthalpy values for air at 5000 ft underground.

I think any of the psychrometric calculators available could do this. Just enter -5000 ft as the altitude.

One option is here:
I have no affiliation with that that, other than I use it. There are others available, a Google search should quickly turn up several.

Or, as I had previously suggested, crank out the formulas yourself.
 
My humble java psych calculator will properly handle "negative" altitudes within reason:
Unfortunately with PMTHERM, altitude is selected from a combo box, and -1000 ft is the lowest value accepted. The psychrometric equations behind PMTHERM would have accepted lower values though. But Paul and I didn't think anyone would need them. I did the psychrometric calculation programming for PMTHERM.
 
Prof,

in PMTherm -1000 is the lowest value available on the pull-down, but the combo box is not restricted to only values in the list. You can type in what ever you want.
 
MintJulep, you are correct. Paul Milligan wrote the interface, and I do see where he allowed user input for altitude.
