Good Morning All
In terms of geodetic convention what is the difference between Orthometric and gravimetric Heights?
Any help would be greatful
Thanks
Mat

Matt Win, here are a few members who can help:Ā click on names and ask:Ā Romeo A. Diwas
also try Koeswara Sofyan
Thanks Scott
Really appreciate the help
No problem Mat, glad I could be of some assistance.
Geodesy isn't my strongest suit, but is it that orthometric heights are, by definition, void of a geodetic gravimetric adjustment? Ā (showing my professional ignorance on the topic) But by what course do the two relatively similar results systematically diverge? Ā Good question. Ā I don't know. Ā Please add your thoughts.
Hey Scott
Im thinking Gravimetric heights take into account the geoid and forces of gravity to determine a possible height where as Orthometric heights are a height on the physical surface of the earth above or below the geoid and determined by surveying with an orgin point where mean sea level heights have already been determined?????
it is a funny one as i have googled so much and have found some people calling orthometric heights gravimetric so slightly confused.....
Here is the paper I found:Ā See attached.
Here is some info about that:
http://http//www.academia.edu/5368902/NORMAL_GRAVIMETRIC_HEIGHTS_VERSUS_ORTHOMETRIC_HEIGHTS
If the link doesnĀ“t work try google GRAVIMETRIC HEIGHTS VERSUS ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHTS
Hope it helps
Thank you Anuar Aliz, I logged in at academia.edu and found the paper you are linking to.Ā Although I am not a geodesist, It appears well written.
