   NAVD 88 was established in 1991 by the minimum-constraint adjustment of geodetic leveling observations in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. It held fixed the height of the primary tide gauge benchmark , referenced to the International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level (MSL) height value, at Rimouski , Quebec , Canada .

   Does NAVD 88 mean sea level?

   • If the specific vertical datum is NAVD 88, areas outside North America can reference the sea level vertical datum or another local vertical datum. If the specific vertical datum is NGVD 29, areas outside the conterminous United States and Alaska can reference the sea level vertical datum. Can the term "mean sea level" be used?

   Is NAD 83 and NAVD 88 a valid datum?

   • No, NAD 83 and NAVD 88 are the recommended horizontal and vertical datums, and every effort should be made to collect and publish new data using these datums. However, data collected using other horizontal and vertical datums are acceptable. When is the statement of a datum required in the text body?

   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 vertical datums become consolidated?

   • In the late 19th century and through the early decades of the 20th, multiple vertical datums — the standard for accurate measurement of elevation across large distances — existed across the country. But over time these datums became consolidated.

   A vertical datum is a reference system used for specifying elevation of specific points on the Earth's surface. Vertical datums broadly come in two categories: Three-dimensional datums: those are defined by using a reference ellipsoid and six geocentric parameters expressing origin, and orientation. Unlike a horizontal datum, a three ...

   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.
