Scientific Investigations Report 2012–5017
Conversion Factors and DatumsConversion Factors
Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows: °F=(1.8×°C)+32. Specific conductance is given in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius (µS/cm at 25°C). Concentrations of chemical constituents in water are given either in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or micrograms per liter (µg/L). Algal biomass values are given in milligrams per square meter (mg/m2). Algal cell density values are given in numbers per square centimeter (#/cm2). Algal biovolume values are given in cubic micrometers per square centimeter (µ3/cm2). DatumsVertical coordinate information is 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). Elevation, as used in this report, refers to distance above the vertical datum. |
