Appendix A. CSAT3B Orientation
Declination angles are always subtracted from the compass reading to find
True North. A declination angle East of True North is reported as positive a
value and is subtracted from 360 (0) degrees to find True North as shown
FIGURE A-2. A declination angle West of True North is reported as a
negative value and is also subtracted from 0 (360) degrees to find True North
as shown in FIGURE A-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 (10 June 2006) is 9.67
°
(the
angle is East of True North, so it is reported as positive), thus True North is
360 ° ˗ 9.67 ° , or 350.33 ° as read on a compass. Likewise, the declination for
Mc Henry, IL (10 June 2006) is ˗ 2.68
°
, and True North is 0
°
˗ ( ˗ 2.68
°
), or
2.68
°
as read on a compass.
