NGS’ Mission
To define, maintain and provide access
to the National Spatial Reference
System (NSRS) to meet our Nation’s economic,
social, and environmental needs.
…………………………………………….........................
The NSRS is a consistent coordinate system that
defines latitude, longitude, height, scale, gravity,
orientation, and shoreline throughout the United
States.

Role of Datums and
Geodetic Control
• Geodetic control provides a common
reference system for establishing coordinates
for all geographic data.
• All NSDI framework data and users'
applications data require geodetic control
to accurately register spatial data.
• The National Spatial Reference
System is the fundamental geodetic control
for the United States.
• A geodetic datum is an abstract coordinate
system with a reference surface (such as sea
level) that serves to provide known locations
to begin surveys and create maps.

Geopotential Datums

Gravity - 1 of 4 fundamental forces in nature
Newton Law of universal gravity – “a force which causes any 2 bodies
to be attracted to each other, with the force proportional to the product
of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the
distances between them”-wikipedia
Einstein – more than a force – a curve in the 4th
dimension of space
and time - HowStuffWorks
Gravity
•At NGS Gravity is the basis of the new
geopotential datum

WGS84
• WGS84 (original) - Transit
• WGS84 (G730)
• WGS84 (G873)
• WGS84 (G1150)
• WGS84 (G1674)
• WGS84 (G1762)
Which One??
Approximately 2 meter different from NAD83 (of
course which one?)
September 21, 2017 GISITR
NGVD 29 and NAVD 88
September 21, 2017 GISITR
Why replace NAVD 88 and NAD 83?
•ACCESS!
• easier to find the sky than a 60-year-old bench mark
• GNSS equipment is cheap and fast
•ACCURACY!
• easier to trust the sky than a 60-year old bench mark
• immune to passive mark instability
•GLOBAL STANDARDS!
• systematic errors of many meters across the US
• aligns with GPS, international efforts
• aligns with Canada, Mexico

So…what is “Geopotential”
•Geo: Earth
•Potential: Gravity Potential Energy
•Geopotential: Gravity Potential Energy Field
that surrounds the Earth.

Editor's Notes

  1. Geodesy is the business of the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). NGS develops and maintains the National Spatial Reference System, a national coordinate system that provides the foundation for transportation, navigation, land record systems, mapping and charting efforts, and a multitude of scientific and engineering applications. This system defines position (latitude, longitude, and elevation), distances and directions between points, strength and direction of gravity (no, it is not simply “straight down”), shoreline, and how these change over time.
  2. Back in the 1600s, Isaac Newton defined gravity as a universal force acting on all matter. According to his theory, the exact expression of gravity came down to mass and distance. The farther apart two particles are and the less massive they are, the less the gravitational force. in the 1900s, a wild-haired physicist by the name of Albert Einstein stepped in the ring and let fly with his general theory of relativity. Einstein argued that gravity was far more than just a force; it was a curve in the fourth dimension of space and time. Given sufficient mass, an object can cause an otherwise straight beam of light to curve.  Newton's law of universal gravitation, which describes gravity as a force which causes any two bodies to be attracted to each other, with the force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
  3. Things are looking up! GNSS technologies simplify and improve access to and accuracy of our spatial reference system. While we can continue to leverage this technology to maintain the old datums, it makes sense to adopt GRAV-D results in an unpolluted form, and align it to modern global standards.
  4. Pictured: Airborne gravity survey grid and the current status of GRAV-D, with more than 45 percent of the U.S. and its territories covered and GRAV-D airborne data collected. In 2010, began operational collection of airborne gravity data to calculate a geoid model and ultimately a new vertical reference system for accurate height measurements up to 2 cm in the U.S. and territories. Provides highly accurate height measurements to determine where water flows Connects satellite and terrestrial gravity measurements for efficient and accurate gravity monitoring Benefits include $240 Million from improved floodplain mapping alone

  7. Four Terrestrial Reference Frames Replacing the three existing NAD 83 reference frames will be four plate-fixed terrestrial reference frames. The tectonic plate for each frame may be inferred from their names. Geopotential datum A geopotential datum will be created which will contain all of the information necessary to provide mutually consistent orthometric heights, geoid undulations, gravity anomalies, deflections of the vertical and all other geodetic coordinates related to the gravity field. Geoid model Within NAPGD2022, a variety of products will exist. The most prominent will be a time dependent model of the geoid, provided in three regions (the first covering the entirety of North and Central America, Hawaii, Alaska, Greenland and the Caribbean, the second covering American Samoa and the third covering Guam and the Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands).
