About Microradians per second
The microradian per second (µrad/s) is 10⁻⁶ rad/s. Earth's mean sidereal rotation rate is ≈72.921 µrad/s, the single most important reference at this scale. Navigation-grade ring laser gyroscopes (Honeywell GG1320) reach bias stability below 0.15 µrad/s; fibre-optic gyros for satellite attitude control (iXBlue ASTRIX-120) achieve 0.048 µrad/s. Postglacial isostatic rebound produces crustal block rotations detectable at 0.1-1 µrad/s in GPS survey networks. 1 µrad/s = 10⁻⁶ rad/s ≈ 5.73 × 10⁻⁵ °/s.
About Degrees per hour
The degree per hour (°/h) equals π/648000 rad/s ≈ 4.848 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s, the universal benchmark for gyroscope drift rate. Performance tiers: consumer MEMS (smartphone) 30-2000 °/h; tactical grade (guided munitions) 0.1-30 °/h; navigation grade (commercial aircraft) 0.001-0.1 °/h; strategic grade (submarines, ICBMs) below 0.001 °/h. Earth's rotation rate of 15.041 °/h is the calibration reference for every gyrocompass. A 0.01 °/h drift yields about 1.1 km position error after 1 hour of unaided inertial navigation at the equator. 1 °/h ≈ 4.848 × 10⁻⁶ rad/s.
