   What does NAVD 88 stand for?

   • The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is based on an adjustment of leveling observations from across the country. A highly accurate surveying technique called geodetic leveling was used to measure height differences across the country. The 1988 vertical datum was based on over 600,000 kilometers of control leveling.

   When was NAVD 88 renamed?

   • Therefore, it was renamed in 1973, the National Geodetic Vertical Datum on 1929. ( Geodetic Glossary, pp. 56) 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.

   What is the difference between NAVD88 and vdatum?

   • These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums. The NAVD88 is a correction of thousands of control points of elevation datum. VDatum is a free tool by NOAA to transform data among a variety of tidal, orthometric, and ellipsoidal vertical datums.

   What is the difference between navd29 and NAVD88?

   • Differences between NAVD29 and NAVD88 can range from three feet or more in the Rocky Mountains where gravitational forces are high… to a couple of inches in other areas. A vertical coordinate transformation isn’t a simple plug-in-play formula. These transformations require software to transform into different vertical datums.

   Oct 29, 2023 · These datums are used to measure the height (altitude) and depth (depression) above and below mean sea level. Commonly used vertical datums in North America are the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). A (vertical) geodetic datum often ties in tidal datums.

   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.

   Have you ever noticed the abbreviation NAVD 88 or NGVD 29 written after an elevation marker on a survey or construction drawing and wondered what it means? What’s the difference between the two? Or maybe you’ve wondered why we don’t always use Above Ground Level (AGL).

   Mean Sea Level (MSL), which the CoE 1962 design memo refers to, is otherwise referred to as the Sea Level Datum of 1929 and was used from 1929 to 1973. It was superseded by the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), which was used from 1973 to 1992, and that was superseded by the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88 ...
