Perhaps you mean MLLW? If so, it is the Mean Lower Low Water; a reference point for all other measurements of Datum.

What is elevation on a map?
elevation, vertical distance from a datum plane, usually mean sea level to a point above the earth.
How do you measure a high tide on an open beach?
Tides are measured from a datum called the Mean Sea Level
What does Toonami mean?
Toonami is a cross between the words cartoon and tsunami, which might mean a tidal wave of cartoons.
What is tidal shoreline?
The shoreline between mean low and mean high tide. (Mean low is usually a fixed mark but mean high can change!)
Is Tidal Energy expensive?
It, depends on if you mean is it expensive to start up or to run, because once you have started the tidal energy up, it is free to run (costs no money to run)
What is above ordnance datum as applied to surveying?
Above Ordnance Datum is a reference elevation used in surveying that is based on the mean sea level. It provides a standard benchmark for measuring height or altitude across different locations. This datum is commonly used in the UK and other countries for mapping and surveying purposes.
What does NGVD mean?
national geodetic vertical datum
Difference between admiralty chart datum and mean sea level?
The chart datum is about 825 mm below the mean sea level. This is usually a showing of the average of the lowest tides.
What does gib das heutige datum ein mean?
"Gib das heutige Datum ein" means "Enter today's date" in German.
In a building plan what does 1.27 meters AOD mean?
above ordnance datum!
What does reduced level mean?
In the context of Civil Engineering, especially land surveying, Reduced Level "RL" refers to reducing (or equating) levels (elevations) to a common datum, which is either a real or imaginary location with a nominated elevation of zero. The most common convenient datum was mean sea level. On small surveys that require the collection of elevation data the datum can be assumed and for practical purposes it simply needs to be far enough below the survey area to avoid negative numbers, thus the starting point of a survey might be nominated to be RL 100.00
What id difference between data and datum?
Data is the plural, roughly meaning information. Datum is singular and is used someti es to mean a Landmark or starting point, a geodetic Datum point, like in the Grabd Canyon or the Promontory Point in Utah, both recognized landmarks.
What does the word tsunami mean in english?
tidal wave
Why is it that the observers on board a sailing ship do not feel this tidal motion?
Depends on what you mean by 'tidal motion'. Tides create currents, and these are certainly felt by sailors, and must be carefully considered when navigating. As far as the up/down motion: this is not felt because it is so slow, but certainly can be observed if there is some reference point (like a nearby shoreline).
How can you describe how far an object is from sea level?
Sea level rises and falls, so a datum line was put by the British Ordnance Survey on a harbour wall at Newlyn, Cornwall. It is from this datum line that mean sea level is measured.
How is mean sea level defined?
There is a point in Cornwall, in the UK, where there is a hatch in a building and underneath is a mark from which mean sea level for the entire world is calculated. It is in Newlyn, I think. Answer MSL is the average between high and low tides, and is a datum point used to desribe the height of tides, although the actual measurement is quite complex. The Newlyn mentioned above is the datum point for the UK, not the world. Other countries have their own datum point.
