    Tidal datum are base elevations used as references to measure water levels. There are several tidal datums defined by different phases of the tide, including highest astronomical tide (HAT), mean higher high water (MHHW), mean high water (MHW), and diurnal tide level (DTL). Tidal datums are used as references to measure local water levels and establish boundaries for privately owned land, state owned land, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, and high seas. Each tidal datum is defined based on analyses of tide observations over multi-year periods.
