Geography
Portuguese term or phrase: clinografia
"[...] o resultado da multiplicação entre a CLINOGRAFIA e o cosseno da diferença."

Me parece que, em geografia, o termo é mais usado como sinônimo de "slope", i.e. quanto à morfoestrutura do terreno.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Me parece que essa entrada é mais usada para o contexto de cristais, como em geologia. Já quanto à declividade, será que não seria "clinographic curve"? Fonte: http://bit.ly/2h3Hoyu

Asker: "O cálculo do Potencial Orográfico de Chuvas iniciou com a determinação do Fator Direcional Específico (FDE), o qual é o resultado da multiplicação entre a clinografia e o cosseno da diferença entre a direção da vertente e uma outra direção arbitrada."
