   Oct 12, 2010 · The first geodetic leveling project in the United States was surveyed by the Coast Survey from 1856 to 1857. General adjustments of leveling data yielded datums in 1900, 1903, 1907, and 1912. NGS does not offer products which transform from these older datums into newer ones (though some users still work in them!)

   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.

   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.

   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.

   What was the national geodetic vertical datum of 1929?

   • The National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29) (previously titled the Mean Sea Level Datum) was derived using 26 long-term tidal gauge stations and 1st-order leveling stations constrained at mean sea level. These 26 tide gauges were set up in harbors along the east and west coast of the United States (and along the Gulf of Mexico.

   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.

   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.

   The procedure of geodetic leveling provides a height that is commonly known as a height above mean sea level. In this process, level differences, which express the alignment of a level bubble, are combined with surface gravity readings to obtain final values.

   Meyer (2021a) defines elevation as the distance of a point above a specified surface of constant potential (usually gravity or gravitation); the distance is measured along the direction of gravity between the point in question and the specified surface.
