Temperatures can be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or degrees Celsius (°C) by using the following
equations:
°F = 9/5(°C)+32
°C = 5/9(°F-32)
Sea level: In this report "sea level" refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD of 1929)-a geodetic datum derived from a general adjustment of the first-order level nets of both the United States and Canada, formerly called Sea Level Datum of 1929.
