RAWS-F Remote Automated Weather Station for Fire Weather

FIGURE 8-2. A declination angle east of True North (positive) is

subtracted from 360 (0) degrees to find True North

8.2 USGS Web Calculator

The USGS provides an easy way of determining the declination of a specific

site. Since magnetic declination fluctuates with time, it should be adjusted

each time the wind sensor orientation is adjusted. The calculator can be

accessed at: www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp. FIGURE 8-4

shows an example for Logan, UT.
