Separation Between Geoid and Quasi-Geoid: Analysis of the Differences Between Normal-Orthometric and Rigorous Orthometric Heights

The orthometric and normal heights are the two altitude systems most used in the practical realization of the local and national vertical geodesic data. The main difference between these two concepts is that the actual mean gravity along the plumb line between the geoid and the topographic surface...
