Mole (unit) and growth chamber lighting for plants is sometimes expressed in micromoles per square meter per second, where 1 mol photons = photons. In 2011, the 24th meeting of the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) agreed to a plan for a possible revision of the SI base unit definitions at an undetermined date. The 26th meeting of the CGPM, in a formal vote on 16 November 2018, approved the proposed redefinition of SI base units mole, kilogram, ampere and kelvin. One mole of a substance will have exactly specified "elementary entities" of that substance. The definition of the mole
Dobson unit Dobson unit should eventually be replaced by an appropriate SI unit and that the unit mmol m-2 was the most convenient and least cumbersome option. It expressed the hope that this unit would eventually supplant the Dobson Unit. However, as of March 2017, there is little evidence that this has occurred; for example the Dobson unit is still used by NASA and by the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Center in their reporting of total ozone amount. NASA uses a baseline value of 220 DU for ozone. This was chosen as the starting point for observations of the Antarctic
