WHAT is Canada’s Height Modernisation?
It is the establishment of a new vertical datum for Canada that is integrated within the CSRS The Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum
of 2013 (CGVD2013) Released in November 2013
It replaces the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1928 (CGVD28) Adopted in 1935 by an Order in Council
Three important changes: New definition: from mean sea level at
specific tide gauges to an equipotential surface
New realisation: from adjusting levelling data to integrating gravity data
New access: from benchmarks to a geoid model
CGVD2013 is compatible with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS
Orthometric height determination by two techniques: levelling and combination of GPS measurements and a geoid model.

WHY Height Modernisation in Canada? TECHNOLOGY, ACCESS & COST
Levelling is a precise technique that served Canada well over the last 100 years to realise and maintain the vertical datum, but for a country as wide as Canada …
It is prone to the accumulation of systematic errors over long distances;
It does not provide a national coverage (BMs only along major roads and railways);
It is a costly and time-consuming technique.
Motorized Levelling

Modern technology in positioning
GNSS positioning is now mature and has gained widespread adoption by users.
It is a cost efficient technique in determining precise heights everywhere in Canada.
Satellite gravity missions offer unprecedented precision in the determination of the long and middle wavelength components of the geoid.
A geoid model realizes an accurate and homogeneous vertical reference surface all across Canada (land, lakes and oceans).

WHAT is the Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013 (CGVD2013)
Name: Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013
Abbreviation: CGVD2013
Type of datum: Gravimetric (geoid)
Vertical datum: W0 = 62,636,856.0 m2s-2
Realisation: Geoid model CGG2013 (NAD83(CSRS) and ITRF2008)
Type of height : Orthometric

WHAT is the definition of CGVD2013? U.S. NGS and NRCan’s GSD signed an agreement (16 April 2012) to realize and maintain a common vertical datum for USA and Canada defined by W0 = 62,636,856.0 m2/s2
Canadian tide gauges American tide gauges
CGVD2013: Conventional equipotential surface (W0 = 62,636,856.0 m2/s2) averaging the coastal mean sea level for North America measured at Canadian and American tide gauges.
It also corresponds to the current convention adopted by the International Earth Rotation and Reference
Systems Service (IERS) and International Astronomical Union
(IAU).

Ellipsoidal height and Orthometric height
Ellipsoidal heights
Orthometric heights
Heights are traditionally referred to mean sea level (BM, DEM, Topo maps).
Orthometric heights are consistent with the direction of water flow.

HOW CGVD2013 impact heights in Canada?
All vertical control stations (bench marks) have a new elevation.
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) is NOT maintaining benchmarks by either levelling or GNSS technique. NRCan stopped levelling surveys for the maintenance of the vertical datum (levelling network) However, the levelling networks are readjusted to conform with CGVD2013 using legacy data. NRCan is publishing CGVD28 and CGVD2013 heights at bench marks, but NRCan cannot confirm the actual height of bench marks in either CGVD28 or CGVD2013
(cannot confirm stability of benchmarks and precision of the levelling lines).
The Canadian Active Control Stations (CACS) and Stations of the Canadian Base Network (CBN) form the federal infrastructure for positioning. 250 stations
Modern alternative techniques provide height determination. NRCan’s CSRS-Precise Point Positioning (PPP) Differential GNSS positioning Public and Private Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning
Levelling remains a very efficient technique for most short distance work.

Tools available for Height Modernisation
Precise Point Positioning (PPP): Process GPS RINEX files to provide coordinates (latitude, longitude, ellipsoidal height and orthometric height)
GPS-H: Convert ellipsoidal heights to orthometric heights (makes use of any geoid models, works with different types of coordinate systems (geographic, UTM, MTM and Cartesian), and different geometric reference frames (NAD83(CSRS) and ITRF))
TRX: Transform coordinates between different geometric reference frames, epochs and coordinate systems.

Future activities
Promotion of the new vertical datum for Canada (CGVD2013). The transition period between CGVD28 and CGVD2013 will last several decades.
Integration of GRAV-D data into the Canadian solution.
Integration of latest satellite gravity data (GRACE and GOCE).
Communication between national geodetic agencies (theory, data exchange, comparison of solutions, etc.)
Realisation of a unique height reference system for North America by 2022 (Canada, USA, Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Greenland).
27 of 28
NRCan released a new vertical datum in November 2013 Canadian Geodetic Vertical Datum of 2013 (CGVD2013) Realised by geoid model CGG2013 (W0 = 62,636,856.0 m2/s2) Compatible with GNSS positioning technique Levelling networks were readjusted using existing data to conform with CGVD2013
Why a new national vertical datum? Cost of conducting levelling surveys at the national scale To provide access to the vertical datum all across Canada New space-based technologies in positioning (GNSS) and gravity (GRACE/GOCE)
The difference between CGVD2013 and CGVD28 Separation ranging from -65 cm and 55 cm at the national scale.
US and Canada signed an agreement for the realisation of a unique height reference system between the two countries by 2022. The common datum is currently accepted as W0 = 62,636,856.0 m2/s2 (adopted definition for CGVD2013).
