WHAT DOES DECLINOMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

declinometer

Magnetic declination

Magnetic declination or magnetic variation is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north and true north. This angle varies depending on one's position on the Earth's surface, and over time. Somewhat more formally, Bowditch defines variation as “the angle between the magnetic and geographic meridians at any place, expressed in degrees and minutes east or west to indicate the direction of magnetic north from true north. The angle between magnetic and grid meridians is called grid magnetic angle, grid variation, or grivation.” By convention the declination is positive when magnetic north is east of true north, and negative when it is to the west. Isogonic lines are lines on the Earth's surface along which the declination has the same constant value, and lines along which the declination is zero are called agonic lines. The lowercase Greek letter δ is frequently used as the symbol for magnetic declination.
