  • Page 15: Determining True North For Wind Vane Orientation

    T107 Weather Station Determining True North for Wind Vane Orientation Magnetic declination, or other methods to find True North, should be determined prior to installing the weather station. True North is usually found by reading a magnetic compass and applying the correction for magnetic declination*; where magnetic declination is the number of degrees between True North and Magnetic North.

  • Page 16: Web Calculator

Declination Angles West of True North Are Added to 0 to Get True North 1.5.1 Web Calculator Since magnetic declination fluctuates with time, it should be determined each time the wind sensor orientation is adjusted.
  • Page 17 T107 Weather Station A positive declination is east, while a negative declination is west. The declination in this example is 12º 24 or 12.4º. As shown in FIGURE 1-6, the declination for Logan, UT is east, so True North for this site is 360 – 12.4, or 347.6 degrees.
