   What is a vertical datum?

   • Vertical datums are used as a reference against which to base height measurements in order to know that all measurements start from the same “zero” and can therefore be compared. NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey has been in the business of establishing national vertical datums throughout the history of the organization.
