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.
