1.4 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. Magnetic declination for a specific site can be obtained from a USFA map,

local airport, or through a computer service offered by the USFS called GEOMAG
