The level of its surface relative to the land. For mapping and other technical purposes the Mean Sea Level at a suitable reference location is used, to allow for the tides.

I don't know the American equivalent, but for the UK the reference level is Mean Sea Level measured at Newlyn, Cornwall, as it is a convenient location little affected bycoastal features or the English Channel, Bristol Channel (the Severn Estuary), etc.
