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
Radiation: A unit of activity is a Curie (Ci), which is equivalent to 3.7 x 1010 disintegrations per second (dps); the standard disintegration rate of 1 gram of Radium. In International Units a Becquerel (Bq) is equivalent to 1 disintegration per second (dps). Thus, 1 Curie (Ci) equals 3.7 x 1010 Becquerels (Bq) or 37 gigaBecquerels (GBq).
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.
