EPSG:7970

NGVD29 height (m) to NAVD88 height (2)

Attributes

Geodetic CRS: NGVD29 height (ftUS)

Datum: National Geodetic Vertical Datum 1929

Data source: EPSG

Information source: National Geodetic Survey, www.ngs.noaa.gov

Revision date: 2019-09-17

Scope: Change of height to a different vertical reference surface.

Remarks: In the SE of this area the NGVD29 surface is 0 to 0.1m above the NAVD88 surface; in the W it is 0.6 to 0.9m below the NAVD88 surface. Interpolation in the data file may be made using either NAD27 or any of the NAD83 realizations applicable to US conus.

Method: Vertical Offset by Grid Interpolation (VERTCON)

Area of use: United States (USA) - CONUS between 89°W and 107°W - onshore - Arkansas; Colorado; Illinois; Iowa; Kansas; Louisiana; Michigan; Minnesota; Mississippi; Missouri; Montana; Nebraska; New Mexico; North Dakota; Oklahoma; South Dakota; Tennessee; Texas; Wisconsin; Wyoming.
