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.
The adjustment project, called the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88), formally began in October 1977. The NAVD 88 project has dominated VNB activities since approval and funding in 1977. Major NAVD 88 tasks are described in detail in previous reports (Zilkoski 1986; Zilkoski and Young 1985). An important feature of the NAVD 88 ...

The North American Vertical Datum of 1988 is a vertical control datum for surveying and not a measure of elevation relative to local mean sea level. Flood zone designations should be unaffected by the choice of vertical datum. -- Buaidh ( talk) 13:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC) [ reply] Categories: Start-Class Maps articles.
t. e. 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]
Sep 15, 2023 · State the vertical datum name and year in that document. Example: "Vertical coordinate information is referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88)." If a GNSS survey is used to establish elevations (orthometric heights), the geoid model used to convert ellipsoid heights to orthometric heights should be referenced.
A vertical datum is a surface of zero elevation to which heights of various points are referenced. Traditionally, vertical datums have used classical survey methods to measure height differences (i.e. geodetic leveling) to best fit the surface of the earth. The current vertical datum for the contiguous United States and Alaska is the North ...
