• NGS Mission and Height Modernization Overview
• Needs and Benefits of Accurate Heights
• NGS Roles and Responsibilities
Overview
Mission of NGS
To define, maintain and provide access to the National Spatial Reference System to meet our nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs
http://geodesy.noaa.gov/INFO/ngs_tenyearplan.pdf
• Define the NSRS– “The NSRS must be more accurate than all activities which
build upon it, while still being practicably achievable.”
• Maintain the NSRS– “NGS must track all of the temporal changes to the defining
points of the NSRS in such a way as to always maintain the accuracy in the NSRS definition.”
• Provide Access to the NSRS– “NGS must develop and maintain guidelines for users to
access the NSRS at a variety of accuracies.”– “NGS will publish all coordinates of defining points of the
NSRS with an epoch tag and will furthermore publish velocities relative to that epoch-tagged set of coordinates”
http://geodesy.noaa.gov/INFO/ngs_tenyearplan.pdf
From the NGS 10-Year Plan
• The official national coordinate system of the U.S. federal government which includes:– Geodetic latitude, longitude and height– Scale, gravity, and orientation– How these values change with time
• Components include:– National and Cooperative CORS– Network of passive monuments– Official national shoreline – Precise orbits of GNSS satellites used to define NSRS– Models and tools to describe how all of these
quantities change over time.

Height Modernization is …
…the establishment of accurate, reliable heights using GNSS technology in conjunction with traditional leveling, gravity, and modern remote sensing information….
The Roots of Height Modernization
• In 1994 - First meeting held in
Sacramento, CA
– Some heights in CA in error by more than a meter
– GPS could be immediately used to meet some of California’s requirements
– Necessary for the implementation of NAVD 88
• In 1998, $1.0 M was added to NGS budget
to perform Height Modernization Study
• Study Goals:– Identify/document user requirements for
height data – Identify/document applications for GPS
height data– Evaluate estimated cost benefits and
implementation costs– Recommend actions to meet
requirements – all technologies
• Study Components:– User forums and outreach– Evaluate 16 case studies– Compare costs of similar surveys using
different methods
Height Modernization Study
• In 2000, $500K added to NGS’ budget for Height Modernization planning
• In 2001, $2.25M added to NGS budget – to implement Height Modernization in NC– to support the California Spatial Reference
Center (CSRC)– to support NGS related Height Modernization
activities
• Also in 2001, NOAA is directed to work with LA and WI to assess their requirements for Height Modernization
The Roots of Height Modernization

Local Issues
How can Height Modernization help?
• Control network is becoming
decimated
• Costly, time consuming
• Difficult to maintain
“To define, maintain and provide access to the NSRS…”
Problems with traditional leveling
Can we get accurate heights with GNSS?
• Infrastructure
• Models and Tools
• Outside Capacity Building
NGS Business Plan: 3 Areas of Focus
• “Define, maintain, provide access to NSRS”
• Active control network – CORS
• Passive control network as needed
• Guidelines and standards for geodetic field and processing practices
• Quality check data that is incorporated in the NGS database
• Enable positioning consistent with NSRS

Results of partnerships
• Role of NGS: Program Management
• Congressional briefings
• Budget, grants management
• Coordination – Partners, SRCs
• Role of NGS: Project Leadership
• Support program growth - develop long range plan
• Support advance of science
• Support NOAA’s Mission – shoreline, weather, climate change
• Needs don’t stop at state boundaries
• States within a region work in concert to support common issues/goals
• More efficient use of funds, people
• Encourages partnerships
• Congress more likely to continue funding for programs that impact a larger area/group of constituents; commitment to program on part of users
A National Program
Height Modernization Regions
Height Mod Objectives
• Consistent, accurate vertical AND horizontal control network– Rebuild decimated network– New network is GPS-able– Reduces survey costs by providing denser control
• Build capacity in the surveying community to perform the surveys and properly use the data
• Provide data to build better models (DEMs, geoid, storm surge) and products (FIRMs)
• Provide access to NSRS to enable expansion of applications, like RTK, GIS
