Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 09:07 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 01, 2017 at 12:00 AM
Within the NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS), the NOAA National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has a federal mandate to provide accurate positioning, including heights, to all federal non-military mapping activities in the USA. In 2007, the NGS embarked on the Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) Project, one of the most ambitious projects in the history of the agency. The gravity-based vertical datum resulting from this project is accurate at the 2 cm level where possible for much of the country. Available data include airborne and terrestrial survey information, gravity data, and gravity-based geoids or datums.
