   Nov 4, 2020 · The NAVD 88 used some of the original data from 1929 but also re-leveled about 100,000 km. Originally scheduled to be completed in 1988, it was finished on June 15, 1991. The new datum produced fewer distortions than earlier vertical datums and more accurate elevations, according to Remondi.

   VERTCON 3.0 was a project whose intent was to create new “build software”, and use that software to build and release transformation grids capable of performing orthometric height transformations for a range of datums and regions in the National Spatial Reference System. Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 release 20...

   VERTCON 3.0 release 20190601 is functionally implemented in NGS’s Coordinate Conversion and Transformation Tool (NCAT). Unlike earlier versions of VERTCON, VERTCON 3.0 release 20190601is not a stand-alone tool. Visit the VERTCON 3.0 Digital Archive to access raw transformation data that make up VERTCON 3.0 release 20190601(e.g., grids, images, soft...

   Jun 20, 2024 · What does NAVD mean in elevation? NAVD stands for North American Vertical Datum. It is a vertical control network used for surveying and measuring elevations in North America. The current version is NAVD 88, which replaced the previous National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29).

   What is NAVD 88 & NGVD 29?

   • The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the official vertical datum of the United States, having superseded the older National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29). Both NAVD 88 and NGVD 29 are geodetic datums, a reference surface of zero elevation to which heights are referred to over a large geographic extent.

   Are elevation values from a map based on different vertical datums comparable?

   • Elevation values from maps using different vertical datums (e.g., NGVD 29, NAVD 88, MLLW, and MHHW) are not directly comparable because they are based on different frameworks and starting (or zero) points. For a depiction of various vertical datums and their elevation differences at the Boston station, see the figure below.

   Is a vertical datum just a reference surface?

   • “A vertical datum is just a reference surface,” says David B. Zilkoski, the former director of the National Geodetic Survey at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the man who helped supervise the monumental 14-year NAVD 88 project. He uses the example of measuring someone’s height.

   When did the NAVD 88 start?

   • By 1973, the federal Office of Management and Budget concluded that the nation needed a new geodetic survey. Other agencies followed suit, and a new program began in fiscal year 1978 — the NAVD 88. The work of the NAVD 88 was handled by NOAA and Canada’s Survey and Mapping Branch.

   Why were additional tidal bench mark elevations not used?

   • Additional tidal bench mark elevations were not used due to the demonstrated variations in sea surface topography, i.e., the fact that mean sea level is not the same equipotential surface at all tidal bench marks.
