geoid
mathematical figure of the Earth
Imaginary surface representing the average sea level over the ocean and under the land masses
An imaginary shape for the earth defined by mean sea level and its imagined continuation under the continents at the same level of gravitational potential A more complete explanation is available in the Standards Section
A hypothetical, global, and continuous sea-level surface perpendicular to the direction of gravity at all points
Figure of the Earth visualised as a mean sea level surface extended continuously through the continents It is a theoretically continuous surface that is perpendicular at every point to the direction of gravity (the plumbline)
The equipotential surface of the Earth's gravity field which best fits, in the least squares sense, MEAN SEA LEVEL
True shape of the Earth, which deviates from a perfect sphere because of a slight bulge at the equator
The equipotential surface of the Earth's gravity field which best fits mean sea level Geoids currently in use are GEOID84 and GEOID90
The surface of gravitational equipotential which closely approximates mean sea level (MSL)
The figure of the Earth considered as a mean sea-level surface extended continuously under the continents
– The surface of gravitational equipotential which closely approximates mean sea level
The particular equipotential surface which coincides with mean sea level, and which may be imagined to extend through the continents This surface is everywhere perpendicular to the force of gravity
The equipotential surface of the Earth’s gravity field which best fits, in the least squares sense, mean sea level
The shape of the Earth's surface assumed at mean sea level Elevations are reported relative to this surface
A complex three-dimensional figure used as a basis for extremely precise surveys of positions on the surface of the Earth The geoid is the surface on which sea level gravity is everywhere equal Gravity at mean sea level varies due to local differences in topography and the density of materials in the Earth's interior
an equipotential surface (ie having the same potential gravity at each point) that would be assumed by the sea level in the absence of tides, currents, water density variations and atmospheric effects It is the surface of reference for astronomical observations and geodetic levelling
The figure of the earth considered as a sea-level surface extended continuously over the entire earth's surface
A way to map unique numeric IDs to countries, regions, and cities all over the world GeoIDs, also called GeoCodes, provide a standard shorthand to deliver locale-specific services to customers The NET Passport software provides a GeoID list that maps to human-readable names so that NET Passport participating sites can integrate these codes with their services, if they so choose
The particular equipotential surface that coincides with mean sea level and that may be imagined to extend through the continents This surface is everywhere perpendicular to the force of gravity
The surface which an ocean of uniform density would assume if it were in steady state and at rest (i e no ocean circulation and no applied forces other than the gravity of the Earth) This implies that the geoid will be a surface of constant gravitational potential, which can serve as a reference surface to which all surfaces (e g , the Mean Sea Surface) can be referred The geoid (and surfaces parallel to the geoid) are what we refer to in common experience as "level surfaces"
