- Orthometric_height abstract "The orthometric height of a point is the distance H along a plumb line from the point to the geoid.Orthometric height is for practical purposes "height above sea level" but the current NAVD88 datum is tied to a defined elevation at one point rather than to any location's exact mean sea level.Orthometric heights are usually used in the US for engineering work, although dynamic height may be chosen for large-scale hydrological purposes. Heights for measured points are shown on National Geodetic Survey data sheets, data that was gathered over many decades by precise spirit leveling over thousands of miles. Since gravity isn't constant over large areas the orthometric height of a level surface isn't constant, and NGS orthometric heights are corrected for that effect. For example, gravity is 0.1% stronger in the northern United States than in the southern, so a level surface that has an orthometric height of 1000 meters in Montana will be 1001 meters high in Texas.Practical applications must use a model rather than measurements to calculate the change in gravitational potential versus depth in the earth, since the geoid is below most of the land surface (e.g., the Helmert Orthometric heights of NAVD88).GPS measurements give earth-centered coordinates, usually displayed as height above the reference ellipsoid, which cannot be related accurately to orthometric height above the geoid without accurate gravity data for that location. NGS is undertaking the GRAV-D ten-year program to obtain such data.Alternatives to orthometric height include dynamic height and normal height.".
