What does dyne/hour/centimeter measure?

Dyne/hour/centimeter is a nonstandard CGS-derived unit representing heat flux density or energy flux per unit area, defined as one dyne of force per hour per centimeter of length.

Are there challenges with converting these units?

Yes, due to the extremely small magnitude of dyne/hour/centimeter, conversions yield very small values requiring careful numerical handling to maintain accuracy.
