Poise

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008005

A unit of dynamic viscosity in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as one dyne-second per square centimeter, or one gram per centimeter-second. The centipoise (cP), which is one-hundredth of a poise, is often used for convenience, as the viscosity of water at 20 degrees Celsius is approximately 1 cP.
