Gravity for the Redefinition of the American Vertical Datum (GRAV-D) Data Products
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.
