   What does NAVD 88 mean?

   • NAVD 88 is the abbreviation for the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. NAVD 88 is one of five current National Geodetic Datums, which are coordinate systems that act as standard reference lines to measure points on the earth’s surface in the region that they apply.

   Why is NAVD 88 more accurate than NVD 29?

   • A few of the reasons why NAVD 88 is more accurate than its predecessor is that it includes adjustments for observed gravity, 1,001,500 (km) of land was leveled, and 450,000 benchmarks were created. In contrast, the process for calculating NAVD 29 included only 106,724 (km) of leveling and 100,000 benchmarks.

   What is the difference between NAVD 88 and NAD83?

   • This surface represents the difference between NAVD 88 as a datum and the geopotential (geoid) surface used in the gravimetric geoid. This is the difference between the hybrid geoid and the gravimetric geoid with respect to NAD83 (GEOID18 - xGEOID19B).

   Is a vertical datum just a reference surface?

   • “A vertical datum is just a reference surface,” says David B. Zilkoski, the former director of the National Geodetic Survey at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the man who helped supervise the monumental 14-year NAVD 88 project. He uses the example of measuring someone’s height.

   In contrast, the process for calculating NAVD 29 included only 106,724 (km) of leveling and 100,000 benchmarks. It’s important to note there is roughly a one-foot difference between the two datums, depending on the location in the country.

   So, the 29 ft lake elevation the CoE referenced is NGVD 29. To convert to NGVD 29 to NAVD 88 you simply add 3.6 feet. So the 29 ft lake elevation (MSL or NGVD 29) is 32.6 ft NAVD 88.

   new, more accurate datum, such as NAVD 88, which allow for the better comparison of elevations. Why does it matter which vertical datum an elevation is referenced to? Elevation values based on different vertical datums cannot be used together directly since they are based on a different vertical reference point (See graphic). When
