  1. New Datum: Vertical (Geopotential) FGCS Silver Spring, MD. July 24, 2011 Mark C. Eckl NGS Chief of Observation and Analysis Division, New Vertical Datum Project Manager

  2. Vertical DatumStatus • United States Gravimetric Geoid 2012 (USGG12) • Hybrid Geoid 2012 (Geoid12) • 2022 Definition of the Vertical Reference Surface

  3. Vertical DatumOther Geopotential Products • Leveling Online Computation User Service (LOCUS) • Vertical Time Dependent Positioning (VTDP) • Geoid Slope Validation Survey 2011 (GSVS11) • Floodplain Mapping Pilot Project

  4. Floodplain Mapping Pilot Project • Goals: • Analyze how FEMA floodplain mapping will be affected by the release of the new datums • Provide recommendations for FEMA, cooperating partners and NGS • Conclusions • Existing software and methods need to handle significant coordinates shift Horizontal: 2.716 ft/0.828 mVertical: -0.947 ft/-0.289 m • Larger impact on higher accuracy elevation data • Minimal changes in the floodplain, will depend on the location, the mapping method, and engineering judgment • The development of an implementation plan is extremely important for FEMA and other agencies Full Report: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/Floodplain_Pilot_Project_Final.pdf
