PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows
1 Computed geoid height values $500 for each point 2 Contoured geoid height maps $2500 each 3 Digital data sets with PC program $2500 for each set 4 Digital data set with PC program
for the continental Cnited States $3000 5 Special orders fees vary based upon the order
Csers intending to employ this information for the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) survey data are encouraged to consider products 2 3 and 4 - math coprocessor chip and a hard disk drive are needed to compute product 4
Prepayment is required Make check or money order payable to lOAA ational Geodetic Survey Payment may also be made by VISA American Express or MasterCard For orders sent outside the united States a 25 surcharge will be added to the prices listed above to cover additional postage costs To order write or call

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows
1 Computed geoid height values $500 for each point 2 Contoured geoid height maps $2500 each 3 Digital data sets with PC program $2500 for each set 4 Digital data set with PC program
for the continental Cnited States $3000 5 Special orders fees vary based upon the order
Csers intending to employ this information for the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) survey data are encouraged to consider products 2 3 and 4 - math coprocessor chip and a hard disk drive are needed to compute product 4
Prepayment is required Make check or money order payable to lOAA ational Geodetic Survey Payment may also be made by VISA American Express or MasterCard For orders sent outside the united States a 25 surcharge will be added to the prices listed above to cover additional postage costs To order write or call

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows
1 Computed geoid height values $500 for each point 2 Contoured geoid height maps $2500 each 3 Digital data sets with PC program $2500 for each set 4 Digital data set with PC program
for the continental Cnited States $3000 5 Special orders fees vary based upon the order
Csers intending to employ this information for the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) survey data are encouraged to consider products 2 3 and 4 - math coprocessor chip and a hard disk drive are needed to compute product 4
Prepayment is required Make check or money order payable to lOAA ational Geodetic Survey Payment may also be made by VISA American Express or MasterCard For orders sent outside the united States a 25 surcharge will be added to the prices listed above to cover additional postage costs To order write or call

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows
1 Computed geoid height values $500 for each point 2 Contoured geoid height maps $2500 each 3 Digital data sets with PC program $2500 for each set 4 Digital data set with PC program
for the continental Cnited States $3000 5 Special orders fees vary based upon the order
Csers intending to employ this information for the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) survey data are encouraged to consider products 2 3 and 4 - math coprocessor chip and a hard disk drive are needed to compute product 4
Prepayment is required Make check or money order payable to lOAA ational Geodetic Survey Payment may also be made by VISA American Express or MasterCard For orders sent outside the united States a 25 surcharge will be added to the prices listed above to cover additional postage costs To order write or call

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows
1 Computed geoid height values $500 for each point 2 Contoured geoid height maps $2500 each 3 Digital data sets with PC program $2500 for each set 4 Digital data set with PC program
for the continental Cnited States $3000 5 Special orders fees vary based upon the order
Csers intending to employ this information for the analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) survey data are encouraged to consider products 2 3 and 4 - math coprocessor chip and a hard disk drive are needed to compute product 4

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

PREDICTED GEOID HEIGHTS RELATED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The ~ational Geodetic Survey (NGS) provides predictions of the local height of the geoid referenced to the Geodetic Reference System of 1980 (GRS 8m based upon a spherical harmonic expansion of the geopotential to degree and order 360 (Ohio State univ Report 376 by Rapp and Cruz 1986) As a special order the various derivatives of the geopotential including the gravity vector (ie deflection components) and gradients can be provided
Several different products and services are available These include
Computed geoid height estimates given your station location Computed geoid height grids given the extent of a survey area Contoured geoid height maps suitable for geoidal slope analysis Digital data sets of gridded geoid height values complete with an
interpolation computer program
Csers requesting map and gridded data products must furnish the latitude and longitude for a centrally located point within the desired region except for requests covering the entire continental United States Digital data and grids are provided on a 5- minute interval spanning 1 degree in latitude and longitude Other intervals and spatial extents can be accommodated as a special order
The digital data and interpolation computer program are provided on floppy disk for use on IBM -compatible personal computers (PCs) Both the digital data and the computer program are needed to compute the geoid height maps and gridded data products The fees for these products and services are as follows

NA~-CONVERSION SOFTWARE (NADCON)
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) announces improved datum transformation software for converting geographic coordinate data between the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27) and the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) The program and method known as NADCON (NorthAmerican DatumConversion) should provide users with large holdings of cOOrdinate data with an extremely efficient and accurate method of datum conversion No other data or program is necessary in order to transform between datums In addition the software is straightforward compact and requi res no part icular expert i se to operate
NADCON is the method of datum conversion (e g NAD 27 and NAD 83) wi th i n NGS It is recommended f or use by anyone requi ring the conversion of coordinate data for mapping low-accuracy surveying or navigation Data bases of shift information have been computed us i ng a techn ique known as mi n imum curva ture Simple bilinear interpolation is used on the shift data for determining correctors Results indicate that this method has an expected accuracy of a 15 meter for the majori ty of the conterminous United States Regions of sparse geodetic control including the areas far offshore may yield less accurate resul ts but seldom in excess of 1 a meter
NADCON is available for use on IBM-compatible personal computers A hard disk wi th at least 15 Mbytes storage ish ighly recommended The program is d i str i buted on either 12 Mbyte or 360 kbyte floppy disks (please spec i fy your preference when order i ng) NADCON (version 101) allows for conversions within the conterminous Un i ted Sta tes Alaska Puerto Ri co and the vi rgi n Islands Reques ts for Alaska requi re either a 1 2-Mbyte 5 14- inch disk dr i ve or a 1 44-Mbyte 3~- inch disk dr i ve

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION

1983 STATE PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM LAMBERT PROJECTION TABLES
The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has developed Lambert projection tables for the 1983 State Plane Coordinate System (spes 83) The tables use the Lambert conformal conic projection and allow users wi th a minimum of computing resources to compute State Plane Coordinates from geographic coordinates For each minute of latitude the tables give the corresponding mapping radius and the grid scale factor Wi th the values tabulated for the mapping radius users can compute plane coordinate values using elemen tary formula and a 10-digi t calculator The table method of computing coordinates supplements other methods and material presen ted in NOAA Manual NOS NGS 5 State Plane Coord i nate Systemof 1983 available fromNGS for $1000
States using the Lambert projection include Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Montana Nebraska North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah virginia Washington West Virginia and wi scon sin
NGS has not yet developed coordinate conversion tables for states using the transverse Mercator projection These states include Alabama Arizona Delaware Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Maine Mississippi Missouri Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico Rhode Island Vermont and Wyoming The States of Florida and New York use both Lambert and transverse Me rca tor pro j ect ions The Sta te of Alaska uses the transverse Mercator oblique Mercator and Lambert projections
The cost for each Lambert projection table (one coordinate zone) is $7 00 and prepaymen tis requi red Please make your check or money order payable to NOAA National Geodetic Survey You may also pay using VISA MasterCard or American Express For orders sent outside the United States a 25 surcharge will be added to cover additional postage costs Please specify the state(s) and the coordinate zone(s) youwant

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

PUBLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON NAVD 88
In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it
For a state that does not have an NGS advisor listed you may contact

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

In 1978 the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) initiated a program to redefine the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) and perform a general readjustment of the vertical control portion of the National Geodetic Reference System This new datum the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (N AVD 88) will incorporate recent releveling of 80000 km of the NGS first-order vertical control network as well as the latest techniques to remove known systematic errors and account for vertical crustal motion
This project will for the first time provide a computer- accessible integrated data base of all NGS validated vertical control data for crustal motion and other scientific applications as well as a unified consistent set of bench mark heights for the North American continent Completion of the project is scheduled for 1991 The following is a sample of NA VD 88 publications available from ~GS

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups
Gf-------1Qr---------jG]r-----------------lc
o m 150 m 430 at 1400 m
TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
Organizations wishing to establish aCBL should contact

PROTECTING SURVEY MARKERS
The oiational Geodetic Survey (NGS) has established approximately one million permanent survey markers at precisely measured points Other organizations have also established such markers They provide the common base of reference for latitude longitude height scale orientation and gravity measurements used throughout the United States lost of these points are marked by metal disks about 3 inches in diameter or in some instances metal rods under a hinged cover When a survey marker is removed or displaced its value is lost We ask the publics cooperation in protecting them
If you find a survey m~rker out of the ground send it to NGS at the address below along with the name of the state and county where the mark was located If you use a survey marker please send us a recovery sheet (printed below) to update our files and provide all users with more up-to-date information You can obtain additional sheets free by calling iGS at 1-301-443-8631 We will also provide at no cost a stamped disk for marking the new location of a displaced station mark a return mailing bag for the old disk and information needed to move the mark We can refer you to other agencies if you do not know who to contact about their marks
oiGS sponsors a cost-sharing advisory program with several states The advisors instruct local surveyors on how to use and preserve the National Geodetic Reference System Their names and addresses are listed below For more information on the advisor program please call 1-301-443-8143 If you know of a survey marker in danger of being disturbed or destroyed contact the advisor for the state in which the marker is located You can help by having the following information when you call
1 The state and county where the marker is located 2 The designation stamped on the marker and the agency
that set the mark (usually cast in the marker) 3 What will happen to the marker and whether there is
a site nearby where the marker can be reset 4 Can you or another party move the marker if provided
a new marker and information on how to reset it

CALIBRATION BASE LINE PROGRAM
A calibration base line (CBL) is a precisely measured straight-line course of approximately 1400 m used to calibrate Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMI) A CBL usually consists of four segments ranging from 150 to 1400 m whose lengths are measured using four standardized tapes and two high-precision EDMI Since the program began in 1974 NGS has established more than 275 base lines throughout the United States in cooperation with government agencies universities and professional groups

TYPICAL CALIBRAnON BASE LINE CONFIGURATION
Participating organizations must select a suitable site install the base line markers 2 to 3 months before measurement by the NGS field team and provide 3 to 5 surveying personnel to assist in the measurements The site must be accessible for public use and the adjusted distances are available to the public NGS provides booklets detailing the appropriate procedure for selecting a site installing the markers and using the CBL
