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 National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 1929).
Horizontal coordinate information is referenced to the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27).
Altitude, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum.
Water year is the 12-month period from October 1 through September 30 and is identified by the calendar year in which it ends. For example, the period October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007, is designated water year 2007.
