Tidal DatumsStation Datum: Unique to each water level
station - Established at a lower elevation than the water is ever expected to reach. - Referenced to the primary bench mark at the station- Held constant regardless of changes to the water level gauge or tide staffMHHW: Mean Higher High Water The average height of the higher high water of
each tidal day observed over the NTDE MHW: Mean High Water
The average of all the high water heights observed over the NTDE
MTL: Mean Tide Level The arithmetic mean of mean high water and mean
low waterMSL: Mean Sea Level or LMSL: Local Mean Sea
LevelThe arithmetic mean of HOURLY heights observed
over the NTDEMLW: Mean Low Water The average of all the low water heights observed
over the NTDE MLLW: Mean Lower Low Water The average of the lower low water height of each
tidal day observed over the NTDEGT: Great Diurnal Range The difference in height between mean higher high
water and mean lower low water

6A specific 19 year period that includes the longest periodic tidal variations caused by the astronomic tide-producing forces.
6Averages out long term seasonal meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic fluctuations.
6 Provides a nationally consistent tidal datum network (bench marks) by accounting for seasonal and apparent environmental trends in sea level that affect the accuracy of tidal datums.
6 The NWLON provides the data required to maintain the epoch and make primary and secondary determinations of tidal datums.

Station datum
• Unlike water level (tidal) datums that will change each epoch because the world is dynamic, a station datum is FIXED forever and ever (hopefully).
• It is used to calculate and relate the difference in datum heights between tidal epochs.
• MLLW datum, by convention, is always the reference tidal datum, eg, 0.0, for each tidal epoch. To know how much change there was between tidal epochs, one references the values to the station datum.

VDATUM• Modeling program that enables conversions between
multiple vertical datums—ellipsoidal, geodetic, tidal- at your specified location
• Be fully aware of the errors, eg, Standard Deviation, from transformations among datums, and from source data; types of error include:
variations in the tidal range, tidal phase differences, bathymetric and coastal features, the density and proximity of nearby stations used in the corrections

Steps to VDatum
• Assess tidal & geodetic needs (CO-OPS)• Acquire base observational data (Tri-Office)• Model tidal datum variations across region (OCS)• Build topography of the sea surface (NGS)• Build grid of all transformations (OCS + NGS)• Determine uncertainty of model (OCS + NGS)

Topography of the Sea Surface• Defined here as the difference between NAVD 88 and local mean sea level• Observed NAVD88-LMSL differences at benchmark locations are spatially
interpolated using a minimum curvature algorithm

“Area” chosen doesn’t matter

Cautions using IGLD85 tool
• Only pertinent to geodetic, not tidal, datums• Will utilize NAVD88 if a tidal datum is
attempted to be chosen• Error estimates have not been made• Consider it a “Beta” usage• NOS is in process of fine-tuning accuracy• …and collecting data for a new IGLD datumdiscussed next by Steve Gill, CO-OPS NOS NOAA
