Intern:Conversion

Conversion of units: Parameter defining concentrations of substances (e.g. nutrients) in water are mostly defined with unit Mol per liter ! If data are provided in units different from those in Pangaea and can be converted, please find the related factors below. A parameter should never be defined twice with two different units (exception: units can not be converted).

mymol/kg to mymol/l --> multiply with factor 1.025 (! just a mean value > in principle dependent from substance and density of sea water!)

ml/l to mymol/l ---> factor 44.66 (for oxygen)

mg/l to mymol/l --> factor 31.25 (for oxygen)
