A Underwater acoustic unit conversion

Click For Summary
To convert acoustic noise levels from dB referenced to 1 dyne/sq cm to dB referenced to 1 micro-Pascal (upa), it is essential to understand the relationship between these units. The conversion involves recognizing that 1 upa equals 10^-6 pascal, and 1 dyne equals 10^-5 Newton. A conversion calculator is available to assist with this process. Understanding these unit definitions is crucial for accurate conversion. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper unit reference in acoustic measurements.

Hi all

I have acoustic noise level value in dB vs 1 dyne/sq cm e.g. -10 db vs 1 dyne / sq cm. I need to convert it into dB ref 1upa unit. How i will convert it?

Thanks & Regards

Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to. Greenhouse gasses both warm and cool the atmosphere by slowing heat loss to space. But what would happen without GHGs? I read that the earth would be colder (though still relatively warm), but why? Without GHGs the atmosphere would still be a similar mass and still warmed by conduction from the surface, yet without a means to radiate that heat to space. Why wouldn't the atmosphere accumulate heat over time, becoming warmer? How...
