micrometer (um) 0.00003937 inch
meter (m) 3.28084 foot
square centimeter (cm2) 0.15500 square inch
square meter (m2) 10.76391 square foot

cubic meter per second (m3/s) 35.31467 cubic foot per second

Temperature: Degrees Celsius (°C) can be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) by using the formula °F = [1.8(°C)] + 32. Degrees Fahrenheit can be converted to degrees Celsius by using the formula °C = 0.556(°F - 32).

Sea level: In this report, "sea level" refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD of 1929, formerly called "Sea-Level Datum of 1929"), which is derived from a general adjustment of the first-order leveling networks of the United States and Canada.

Other units used in this report:
g gram
g/m2 gram per square meter
mg milligram
mg/m2 milligram per square meter
