  • Page 17: Determining True North For Wind Vane Orientation

    Section 1. Preparation and Siting 1.5 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 18: Web Calculator

    Section 1. Preparation and Siting FIGURE 1.5-2. Declination Angles East of True North Are Subtracted From 0 to Get True North FIGURE 1.5-3. 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 19 Section 1. Preparation and Siting 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 1.5-1, the declination for Logan, UT is east, so True North for this site is 360 – 12.4, or 347.6 degrees.

  • Page 100 Appendix B. PS24 24 Ahr Power Supply and 10 x 12 inch Enclosure The enclosure needs to be sealed up tight so don’t be CAUTION stingy with the putty. 17. Put both bags of desiccant inside of the enclosure. 18. Stick the humidity indicator card on a wall inside of the enclosure. Pink on the humidity indicator card means it’s time to CAUTION change the desiccant.
