Temperature in degrees Celsius (ºC) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) as follows:
°F=(1.8×°C)+32.
Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25ºC).
Vertical coordinate information in referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83).
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
