This may/may not help but the term "decalage" is usually applied to the relative angles of incidence of the wing chord and horizontal stabilizer chord.

Meanwhile "declination" is the angular distance of a heavenly body from the celestial equator, measured on the great circle passing through the celestial pole and the body. Thanks to dictionary.com.
