On the Consistency between a Classical Definition of the Geoid-to-Quasigeoid Separation and Helmert Orthometric Heights [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 It is acknowledged that a classical definition of the geoid-to-quasigeoid separation as a function of the simple planar Bouguer gravity anomaly is compatible with Helmert’s definition of orthometric heights.
