Gravity recovery from SWOT altimetry using geoid height and geoid gradient
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) altimeter mission can measure high-resolution wide-swath sea surface heights (SSHs) that may greatly improve the current accuracy and spatial resolution of marine gravity from nadir-looking altimeters.

Precise Geoid Determination in the Eastern Swiss Alps Using Geodetic Astronomy and GNSS/Leveling Methods [PDF]
Astrogeodetic deflections of the vertical (DoVs) are close indicators of the slope of the geoid. Thus, DoVs observed along horizontal profiles may be integrated to create geoid undulation profiles.

On the geoid and orthometric height vs. quasigeoid and normal height [PDF]
The geoid, but not the quasigeoid, is an equipotential surface in the Earth’s gravity field that can serve both as a geodetic datum and a reference surface in geophysics. It is also a natural zero-level surface, as it agrees with the undisturbed mean sea

ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF DIFFERENT POLYNOMIAL GEOID MODELS IN ORTHOMETRIC HEIGHT DETERMINATION FOR AKURE, NIGERIA [PDF]
Height is an important component in three dimensional coordinates and determination of the position of points for any meaningful development. Ellipsoidal heights from GNSS require geoid model which could be global, regional and local for transformation ...

ADAPTATION OF THE GLOBAL GEOID MODEL EGM2008 ON CAMPANIA REGION (ITALY) BASED ON GEODETIC NETWORK POINTS [PDF]
The knowledge of the geoid undulation, the height of the geoid relative to a given ellipsoid of reference, is fundamental to transform the ellipsoidal heights into orthometric heights.
