Deklinationsdata från sedimentära borrkärnor från sjöarna Kälksjön, Gyltigesjön, Byestadsjön, Mötterudstjärnet, Furskogstjärnet, Frängsjön och Särsjön visar västlig riktning i den övre delen. Denna västliga riktning följer inte paleomagnetiska modeller och är missvisande. Med hjälp av Microsoft Excel har dessa missvisningar korrigerats och använts för att skapa en svensk version av FENNOSTACK, kalDeclination data from cores from swedish lake sediments show a westward declination in the upper part of most cores. This does not align with paleomagnetic models and is therefore considered false. Using Microsoft Excel these false values have been corrected and used in a swedish version of FENNOSTACK called SWESTACK. SWESTACK gives a mean value with 95\% confidence of the declination over the per
