It usually refers to a product of different units. The total amount of rain falling might be measured as hectare-centimetres where the area that it falls on is measure in hectares and the amount of rain falling on any spot is measured in centimetres. The information could be expressed in cubic centimetres or cubic metres but the numbers are likely to be too large.
