Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32.
Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) may be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) as follows:
°C=(°F-32)/1.8.
Vertical coordinates are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29); see altitude at portal opening, altitude of land surface, and reference point elevation in tables.
Horizontal coordinates are referenced to both the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD27) and 1983 (NAD83); see Nevada State Plane coordinates, latitude/longitude, decimal latitude/longitude, and UTM coordinates in tables.
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
