+Unit conversions
+----------------
+
+Desired units may be specified in the configuration file.
+
+For MesoWest, the desired unit will be passed along in the API request
+and the conversion will take place through the MesoWest/Synoptic API.
+
+For NRCS, this program will do the conversion manually, as NRCS does not
+permit specifying the desired unit.
