About Cubic kilometres per year
The cubic kilometre per year (km³/yr) equals 10⁹/(365.25×86400) ≈ 31.688 m³/s, the unit used in global hydrology, glaciology, and climate science for river basin runoff, ice-sheet mass balance, and groundwater storage change. Total global freshwater river runoff is ≈37 000 km³/yr; the Amazon alone contributes ≈6 600 km³/yr; the Greenland ice sheet loses ≈280 km³/yr to melt and calving. 1 km³/yr ≈ 31.69 m³/s.
About US fluid ounces per second
The US fluid ounce per second (fl oz/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³/128 ≈ 2.957×10⁻⁵ m³/s. It appears in US food-processing and beverage-filling machine specifications, where high-speed bottling lines may fill containers at dozens of fluid ounces per second per nozzle. A standard 16 fl oz bottle filled in 0.5 s corresponds to 32 fl oz/s per lane. 1 fl oz/s ≈ 2.957×10⁻⁵ m³/s.
