Grain size in streambed sediments is given in millimeters (mm). Slope is given in feet per foot (ft/ft). Datums Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29). Horizontal coordinate information was arbitrarily set at time of survey.
In this report, temperature is reported in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), which can be converted to degrees Celsius (°C) by the equation°C = (°F-32) / 1.8 Sea level: In this report, "sea level" refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD of 1929, formerly called "Sea-Level Datum of 1929"), which is derived from a general adjustment of the first-order leveling networks of the United States and Canada. In the adjustment, sea levels from selected tide stations in both countries were held fixed. The year indicates the time of the last general adjustment. This datum should not be confused with mean sea level. Altitudes are the same in both the local coordinate system and the Universal Transverse Mercator system.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
