The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 ( NAVD 88) is the vertical datum for orthometric heights established for vertical control surveying in the United States of America based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988. [1]
Nov 4, 2020 · In a few years the key datum of the last 30 years, the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 — the datum used by federal agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — will be replaced by a new, satellite-based system. David B. Zilkoski, the former director of the National Geodetic Survey at ...

Jul 12, 2018 · The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the vertical control datum established in 1991 by the minimum-constraint adjustment of the Canadian-Mexican-United States leveling observations. It held fixed the height of the primary tidal bench mark, referenced to the new International Great Lakes Datum of 1985 local mean sea level ...
Mar 5, 2020 · The vertical control datum established for vertical control surveying in the Unites States of America based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988. It replaces the National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) of 1929. Last updated March 5, 2020.
The North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) are considered superseded as the national standards. The North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) provide a more accurate representation of the Earth's shape and a more accurate depiction of ...
Oct 12, 2010 · The first geodetic leveling project in the United States was surveyed by the Coast Survey from 1856 to 1857. General adjustments of leveling data yielded datums in 1900, 1903, 1907, and 1912. NGS does not offer products which transform from these older datums into newer ones (though some users still work in them!)
