 Published Bench Mark Sheet for 8720220
NGVD 29 is sometimes referred to as Sea Level Datum of 1929 or as Mean Sea Level on some early issues of Geological Survey Topographic Quads.
It pertains to local mean sea level and should not be confused with the fixed datums of North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).
NGVD 29 was originally derived from a general adjustment of the first-order leveling networks of the U.S. and Canada after holding mean sea level observed at 26 long term tide stations as fixed.

 The Captain's Sea Level Rise Links
For example, the 5-foot contour is not 5 feet above sea level; it is 5 feet above a "benchmark", such as National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929, or the North Atlantic Vertical Datum of 1988.
This is the "party line" estimate of global warming and sea level rise by the year 2100.
For sea level rise purposes, I stick to the Atlantic Coast from Connecticut South, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Computes the modeled difference in orthometric height between the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) and the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) for a given location specified by latitude and longitude.
Vertical datums can be based on Mean Sea Level (such as NAVD88), tidally derived surfaces (nautical charts) or three dimensional space systems (GPS, for example).
Version 5.x, is a MS-Windows-based program which allows the user to convert coordinates between Geographic, State Plane and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) systems on the North American Datum of 1927 (NAD 27), the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) and High Accuracy Reference Networks (HARNs).

 US GeoData Digital Elevation Models, Fact Sheet 040-00 (April 2000)
Elevation values for the continental United States and Alaska are in reference to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29), with values for the islands of Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam referenced to local mean sea level.
Similar digital elevation data, arranged not by quadrangles but as a huge, single, seamless file, are known as National Elevation Data, or NED, and are treated in a separate fact sheet available at erg.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/factsheets/fs14899.html.
Vertical elevations are in decimal and whole units of meters and feet except for the 1-degree DEM, which is distributed in whole meters only.

Storm tide is water height relative to National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) which is defined as mean sea level in 1929.
At that point, meteorologists at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) Tropical Satellite Analysis and Forecast (TSAF) unit and the Synoptic Analysis Branch (SAB) of the National Environmental Satellite Data and Information Service (NESDIS) found the wave sufficiently well-organized to begin classifying the intensity of the system using the Dvorak (1984) analysis technique.
The 0800 UTC data included a two-minute wind of 123 kt with a gust to 147 kt at a platform height of about 130 ft. The U.S. National Data Buoy Center used a boundary-layer model to convert the sustained wind to a two-minute wind of 108 kt at 33 ft elevation.
