RAWS-P Remote Automated Weather Station in FIGURE 9-3. Note that when a negative number is subtracted from a positive number, the resulting arithmetic operation is addition. For example, the declination for Longmont, CO is 10.1°, thus True North is 360° ─ 10.1°, or 349.9° as read on a compass. Likewise, the declination for Mc Henry, IL is ─2.6°, and True North is 0°... -

RAWS-P Remote Automated Weather Station 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.
