Question: what does 1 cm rainfall mean?
Answer: cm, say, collects 1 cm height water. When poured in a measuring glass cylinder with 10 Sq Cm base, the height will be amplified to 10 Cm but graduation will show as 1 cm; 1 cm will be 1 mm;and 0.1 cm will be 0.1 mm. So rainfall can be measured correct up to 0.1 mm. 9.5K views. View 4 Upvoters.
