National Spatial Reference System
(NSRS)NGS Mission: To define, maintain & provide access to the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) to meet our Nation’s economic, social & environmental needs
Consistent National Coordinate System
• Latitude/Northing
• Longitude/Easting
• Height
• Scale
• Gravity
• Orientation
and how these values change with time.
NewReference SystemsPlanned for 2022
• Replace: bluebooking, database, State Plane Coordinates
• improve toolkit, surveying methodologies.
• Replace NAD83 with a geocentric reference frame

Bottom Line, Up Front
• If you do geospatial work in the USA…
• and you work in the National Spatial Reference System..
• every product you’ve ever made…– every survey…
– every map…
– every lidar point cloud…
– every image…
– every DEM…
– WILL have the wrong coordinates on it in 3 years.
Let’s talk about what this means, why it is happening, and how it will affect things going forward

Everything must shift

GREEN: Coastline shifted into NATRF2022 but
the imagery remains on NAD 83

What is a Datum?
• "A set of constants specifying the coordinate system used for geodetic control, i.e., for calculating the coordinates of points on the Earth."
• "The datum, as defined above, together with the coordinate system and the set of all points and lines whose coordinates, lengths, and directions have been determined by measurement or calculation."

Replacing NAD 83
The Old:
NAD 83(2011)
NAD 83(PA11)
NAD 83(MA11)
The New:
The North American Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022
(NATRF2022)
The Caribbean Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022
(CATRF2022)
The Pacific Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022
(PATRF2022)
The Mariana Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2022
(MATRF2022)

Overview Current Datums
• The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) is the official coordinate system for all geospatial work done by the civilian federal government.
• Current datums:– NAD 83 (latitude, longitude, ellipsoid height)– NAVD 88 (orthometric height)– IGLD 85 (dynamic heights: predominantly on the Great Lakes)
• These datums are often adopted, even legislated, by states, counties and municipalities.
July 24, 2019 22
Examples of other Reference Frames
July 24, 2019 23
• ITRF = International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF)• IGS = GNSS portion of ITRF• Uses velocities
• WGS84 = World Geodetic System 1984
Note--these change with time
Mixing NSRS and non-NSRS?
• Just do it right
• Right:
– The Oregon CRS has a mathematically defined relationship to the NSRS
• Wrong:
– “WGS 84 is the same as NAD 83”
– “WGS 84 is the same as the ITRF”
– “Sub-meter accuracy is possible using WGS 84”• Such statements gloss over critical facts about history, accuracy and application
July 24, 2019 24
Accuracy
• Consider your users’ accuracy needs
– 3 Meters?
• Then WGS 84 is NAD 83
• Global 14 parameter transformations will suffice
– 3 Decimeters?
• Then NAD 83(2011) is NAD 83(NSRS2007)– But NAD 83(1986) is not the same as NAD 83(HARN)
• NADCON will suffice as a transformation
– 3 Centimeters?
• Every detail matters
July 24, 2019 25
Why Modernize the Datums?
• Older Methodology
– Terrestrial, pre-space-geodesy, line-of-sight observations
– Easily destroyed, unmonitored passive control marks
July 24, 2019 26
Why Modernize?
• Evidence of systematic errors
– Decades of space geodetic observations
• All of the datums contain systematic errors (decimeters to meters)– At scales larger than today’s accuracy capabilities
(centimeters)
– Origin (center of Earth) offset: 2+ meters
– Zero elevation surface: 0.5 to 2+ meters
July 24, 2019 27
• The current NSRS has issues:– Non-geocentricity of ellipsoid
– Outdated geoid as the zero height surface
– Does not account for time change
– Significant dependence upon passive marks
Drivers of change
Fixing these will cause a “shift”
Fixing this will cause a “drift”
Drift• The second major change you’ll see in 2022 is a drift in
coordinates
– Everything in the world moves
– Coordinates will be associated with the actual date when the data was taken!
– Velocities at all marks can be estimated
• Euler Pole Rotation
• new tool, called the Intra-Frame Velocity Model (IFVM2022)
– Two things will mitigate the pain of time-dependent coordinates:
• “Plate Fixed” frames
• “Reference Epoch” coordinatesJuly 24, 2019 31

• Replacing NADCON 4.2 and
GEOCON 2.0
• Support for nearly all
horizontal datums since 1897
– Exceptions: Regional Alaska
• No “state by state” grids
• Fixing all existing bugs
• Web service
• Consistent
• Documented
• Rigorous location-dependent
error estimates
• Ready to support 2022
