Explanation / Answer

This adjustment of NGVD 29 shifted the position of the reference surface from the mean of the 26 tidal gage stations to a single tidal benchmark called father point which is in rimouski, qubec, canada near the mouth of the st.lawrence seaway, thus the elevations in the NAVD88 are no longer referenced to mean sea level. Benchmark elevations that were defined by the NAVD88 datum have changed by relatively small, but neverthless significant amounts in the eastern half of the continental united states. However the changes are much greater in the western part of the country and reach 1.5m in Great plains region. It is therefore imperative that surveyors positively identify the datum to which their elevations are referred, After the adjustment, adjusted elevations are properly known as orthometric heights.
