Wrong unit for electrical conductivity in units.csv #161

Closed AlexDo1 closed 2 years ago

AlexDo1 commented 2 years ago

The unit for electrical conductivity in units.csv is electrical conductivity, but must be mS/cm or μS/cm: https://github.com/VForWaTer/metacatalog/blob/e9634a950c6e760ff0803ff1ec65aa77df69eebd/metacatalog/data/units.csv#L26

We need a database revision to fix this.

I would suggest using mS/cm, as this is the unit used in the Bühlot data set, but also the Ott CTD Sensor, for example, measures in mS/cm by default. But of course this depends on the type of application, but mS/cm seems to me a good standard.

I am fine with mS/cm, data using µS can easily be converted. Do you want to PR a database revision or shall I do that?
