About Microwatt per square metre
The microwatt per square metre (µW/m²) equals 10⁻⁶ W/m². Encountered in geothermal science - deep crustal heat flux measurements in stable shield regions can reach a few µW/m² - and in bio-electromagnetic research for very low intensity radiation fields. 1 µW/m² = 10⁻⁶ W/m² = 10³ nW/m².
About Erg per second per square centimetre
The erg per second per square centimetre (erg/(s·cm²)) equals exactly 10⁻³ W/m² in SI (1 erg = 10⁻⁷ J; 1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²). The CGS irradiance unit used in classical electromagnetic theory, astrophysics, and older radiation physics literature. Numerically equal to the milliwatt per square metre. 1 erg/(s·cm²) = 10⁻³ W/m² = 1 mW/m².
