  2. NGVD 29 is the abbreviation for the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, the predecessor to NAVD 88. Due to the advancement of technology and surveying methods, the increased amount of available data and the level of accuracy of that data led to the new datum. The original datum used 26 tide stations throughout the United States and Canada ...

  4. Nov 4, 2020 · HEIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NAVD 88 AND NGVD 29 IN CONTERMINOUS UNITED STATES; UNITS = CM (NOAA) According to the NGS website, surveyors used a method called Differential or Spirit Leveling, where a rod is held on a mark with a known elevation. “A reading is taken on the rod, which provides the elevation of the line-of-sight through the ...

  5. Conversion between NAVD 88 and the commonly used NGVD 29 varies spatially; however, over most of the study area the following conversion can be used: NGVD 29 = NAVD 88 –3.6 feet. This conversion generally is accurate within about ± 0.5 feet for 95 percent of the study area.

  6. Since NGVD 29 used a simple model of gravity based on latitude to calculate the geoid and did not take into account other variations, [citation needed] elevation difference between points in a local area in it and NAVD 88 will show negligible change from one datum to the other, even though the elevation of both does change between datums.

  7. What is the relationship between the geodetic vertical datums (NGVD 29 and/or NAVD 88) and the various water level/tidal datums? NGS develops and maintains the current national geodetic vertical datum, NAVD 88. In addition, NGS provides the relationships between past and current geodetic vertical datums, e.g., NGVD 29 and NAVD 88.
