   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 ...

   How do I find NAVD 88 elevation?

   • The NAVD 88 datum should be read as “The NAVD 88 elevation of “0.000” is equivalent to 0.335 meters below the MLLW datum at this station.” Or “Adding 0.335 meters to each tidal datum will give you the tidal datum information elevation in NAVD 88 elevations.”

   What is the average conversion to NAVD 88?

   • An average conversion of 0.1 foot or less could be deceiving in areas that contain conversions to NAVD 88 that show large plus and minus variances. To illustrate this point, Table 2 shows a hypothetical datum conversion analysis where the average conversion to NAVD 88 was calculated as -0.09 foot.

   Do flood maps need to be referred to NAVD 88?

   • As stated earlier, one goal of FEMA’s Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program is to convert all flood maps from NGVD 29 to NAVD 88. Accordingly, FEMA Standard Identification Number (SID) 118 mandates that for areas within the continental United States, all new flood maps and updates must be referenced to NAVD 88.

   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.

   VERTCON 3.0 was a project whose intent was to create new “build software”, and use that software to build and release transformation grids capable of performing orthometric height transformations for a range of datums and regions in the National Spatial Reference System. Those new grids (and supporting information) are called VERTCON 3.0 ...
