Gradient
(1) A measure of slope (soil- or water-surface) in meters of rise or fall per meter of horizontal distance. (2) More general, a change of a value per unit of distance, e.g. the GRADIENT in longshore transport causes EROSION or ACCRETION. (3) With reference to winds or currents, the rate of increase ...

Gradient
Also called slope. The gradient indicates how steeply a line slopes. You will come across this when using the linefitting technique. A line is described by its gradient and intercept, the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. See also Linefitting.
