Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) can be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows: °F = 1.8 x °C + 32
Concentrations in micromoles per liter (µM/L) and moles per liter (M/L) can be converted to micrograms per liter (µg/L) and grams per liter (g/L), respectively, by multiplying by the atomic or formula weight of the constituent.
Sea level: In this report “sea level” refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929—a geodetic datum derived from a general adjustment of the first-order level nets of the United States and Canada, formerly called Sea Level Datum of 1929.
