  1. DATUMS WHAT ARE THEY?

  2. Overview Basic Geodesy What is a Datum? NAD83 NGVD29 NAVD88 LMSL Tidal Range

  3. WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING DATUMS! ITRF 00 NAD 27 GRS 80 FBN/CBN Datums? NSRS CORS WGS 84 NAVD 88 HPGN NGVD 29 HARN NAD 83

  4. WHAT IS A DATUM? A GEODETIC DATUM IS: A REFERENCE POINT FROM WHICH MEASUREMENTS ARE MADE.

  5. WHAT IS A DATUM? HORIZONTAL DATUMS: are used for describing a point on the earth’s surface, in latitude and longitude or another coordinate system VERTICAL DATUMS: measure elevations or depths

  6. BESSEL1841 --------------LOCAL ASTRO DATUMS (1816-1879) NEW ENGLAND DATUM (1879-1901) U.S. STANDARD DATUM (1901-1913) NORTH AMERICAN DATUM (1913-1927) NORTH AMERICAN DATUM OF 1927 OLD HAWAIIAN DATUM CLARKE 1866 PUERTO RICO DATUM ST. GEORGE ISLAND - ALASKA ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND - ALASKA ST. PAUL ISLAND - ALASKA AMERICAN SAMOA 1962 GUAM 1963 GRS80 ----------- NORTH AMERICAN DATUM OF 1983 (As of June 14, 1989) HORIZONTAL DATUMS

  8. An ellipsoid of revolution is the figure which would be obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis. An ellipsoid of revolution describing the figure of the Earth is called a reference ellipsoid. Earth GRS80 NAD83 • b = 6,356,752.31414 m • a= 637813.000007 meters • b= 6356752.31414 meters • f= 1/(a-b)/a = 298.2572220972 Squash the sphere to fit at the poles • a = 6,378,137.00000 m

  9. How high is the water? 0 feet LMSL (2001-2006) -0.5 feet NAVD88? 5 feet ABOVE THE GROUND? All of the above!

  10. NGVD29 The North American Vertical Datum of 1929 is referenced to 26 tide gages in the US and Canada

  11. Vertical Segment of the NSRS • NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) defines and manages a national coordinate system. • This network, the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS), provides the foundation for our spatial infrastructure • NGS develops Federal standards for geodetic surveys and helps to coordinate surveying methods. • NGS State Geodetic Advisors are stationed in several states to work with local communities to expand surveying capabilities.
