values measuring air flow.
The term cumec is also used, as shorthand for "Cubic metres per second",y-axis or vertical axis of a flow hydrograph, which describes the time variation of discharge of a river (the mean velocity multiplied by cross-sectional area). A moderately sized river discharges in the order of 100 cumecs.
