How do I convert from mph to knots (or m/s), from inches of mercury to mb (or hPa), or convert degrees of latitude to miles (or kilometers) ?
For winds: 1 mile per hour = 0.869 international nautical mile per hour (knot) 1 mile per hour = 1.609 kilometers per hour 1 mile per hour = 0.4470 meter per second 1 knot = 1.852 kilometers per hour 1 knot = 0.5144 meter per second 1 meter per second = 3.6 kilometers per hour For pressure: 1 inch of mercury = 25.4 mm of mercury = 33.86 millibars = 33.86 hectoPascals For Distance: 1 foot = 0.3048 meter 1 international nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles = 1.852 kilometers = .99933 U.S nautical mile (obsolete) 1° latitude = 69.047 statute miles = 60 nautical miles = 111.12 kilometers For longitude the conversion is the same as latitude except the value is multiplied by the cosine of the latitude.
