Technology / Home Audio / Slope: The rate of change that a frequency response curve displays, normally stated in db per Octave. Among other things, Slope can relate to Roll Off rates in Crossover action, low-end roll off and roll on rates and other forms of increasing or decreasing response.

Science / Weather / Upslope Effect: The cooling of an air flow as it ascends a hill or mountain slope. If there is enough moisture and the air is stable, stratiform clouds and precipitation may form. If the air is unstable, there might MORE
Science / Weather / Upslope Fog: Fog that forms when warm, moist surface air is forced up a slope by the wind. It is adiabatically cooled to below its initial dew point, which means the air cools by expansion as it rises. It forms be MORE
Technology / Home Audio / Crossover Slope: The rate at which a crossover circuit attenuates the blocked frequencies. Slope is expressed as decibels per octave. A 6db per octave crossover reduces signal amplitude level by 6db in every octave st MORE

Science / Weather / Downslope Effect: The warming of an air flow as it descends a hill or mountain slope. MORE
Technology / Aviation / Glide Slope: (1) The angle between horizontal and the glide path of an aircraft. (2) A tightly-focused radio beam transmitted from the approach end of a runway indicating the minimum approach angle that will clear MORE
