Normalnulll (without indication of above/below)

Tech/Engineering - Geology / Geotechnical survey
German term or phrase: Normalnulll (without indication of above/below)
Context: Geotechnical survey

The different soils are being described, including their position (depth). The same formula is used throughout. E.g. + 30.5 m NN

"Die Grundoberfläche liegt auf Kote ca. +44,2 • • • -44,7 m NN."

"Sie reichen in eine Tiefe von ca. +37,3 • • • + 39,5 m NN"

Does the + mean above, i.e. above 30.5 m above sealevel? Or should it be "+ 30.5 m above sealevel", i.e. does the NN already indicate that it is above sealevel?
