Dear All,
I should calculate  the area of the hillslope per unit contour length.
I saw r.topidx calculate topographic index (wetness index),
ln(a/tan(beta)), map from elevation map  where 
a: the area of the hillslope per unit contour length that drains through
any point, 
tan(beta): the local surface topographic slope (delta vertical) / (delta
horizontal). 

I should only have the numerator of topographic index. How can i get it?
Thanks
Pierluigi
