strange adverbial?

Hi,

QUOTE->

k = a / [ Ncos(latitude)]

This scale factor (a) does not depend on the longitude. k = 1 on the equator and the value increases latitude

<-UNQUOTE

Sorry for this piece of maths (I just cannot explain what my query is about without using this equasion).

My question is about the underlined part of the sentence...
If it were "the value grows as the latitude increases", it would be simple and understandable to me....

If you could comment on the grammatical "construct"

... VALUE INCREASES LATITUDE/LONGITUDE
