Ortometría
Ortometría is a term used in surveying and geodesy to refer to the process of calculating the orthometric height of a point. Orthometric height, also known as height above sea level or mean sea level, is a measure of the vertical distance from a reference geoid surface to a point. This is distinct from ellipsoidal height, which is the vertical distance from a reference ellipsoid.
The calculation of orthometric height typically involves gravity measurements. A common method is to use the
The accuracy of ortometría depends heavily on the quality and density of gravity data available and the
