VDATUM

VDatum is now available in the NGS's PC Software. Vdatum is under development as part of the joint NOAA/USGS Bathymetric -Topographic Demonstration Project, and is a tool for the conversion of elevation data among 28 different vertical datums. Vertical datums can be based on Mean Sea Level (such as NAVD88), tidally derived surfaces (nautical charts) or three dimensional space systems (GPS, for example).
