Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) may be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) as follows:
°C=(°F-32)/1.8.
Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32.
Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1929 (NAVD of 1929).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) unless otherwise stated.
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
