Magnetic declination = 1.3 deg E

sonic: Vazimuth = measured + declination - 90

Vazimuth is the direction that the sonic V axis is pointing, and is the rotation angle of horizontal wind components from instrument to geographic coordinates.

prop: azimuth = measured + declination + 180

prop azimuth is the angle that is added to the wind directions measured by the prop, so that they are relative to true north.
