Why Seamless Data? Combined Land and Marine Data What is a seamless vertical datum? Vertical datum = surface to which heights (or depths) of points are referred. A seamless vertical datum is one which does not vary over time or location. Current Vertical Datums in use by UK Hydrographic Office Variable Vertical Datum But Chart Datum is not seamless! It varies spatially. For example the difference between Chart Datum and Ordnance Datum Newlyn is: -2.80m at Torquay -1.50m at Lowestoft -6.10m at Barry +0.60m at Barnstaple A Seamless Surface? A stable reference surface which could be considered suitable for this is Vertical Datums The ultimate aim is to refer all heights and depths to WGS84 Datum. Currently land applications use MSL or a local land datum (for example) for their heighting whereas marine applications use Chart Datum and MHWS. It is relatively straight-forward to transform land detail to WGS84 Datum but data referred to Chart Datum is not easy to convert. The Challenge The challenge is not so much to develop a seamless vertical reference surface, but to develop a way of relating current and future datasets to it in a seamless manner. How do you Develop a Vertical Datum Separation Model? It depends on available information… For example What bathymetric and topographic data is held? Are there ellipsoidal heights at Chart Datum points? Is there an accurate geoid model? And it depends on the accuracy needed UK Example - VORF Connections are known between Chart Datum and ODN (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) at tide stations onshore. Vertical Datum Separation Model How Good is this Model? Still relies on co-tidal models – only guaranteed to be accurate to +/- 0.5m in vertical accuracy. Does this reflect the current minimum sea surface? What does the Mariner need? The Way Ahead UKHO will develop a new minimum sea surface related to ETRF89. UKHO will develop a Chart Datum to ETRF89 Datum separation model. UKHO will also develop a Chart Datum to minimum se
