The geoid is defined as the average level of the sea, which is thought of as extended through the continents.
In physical geodesy, gravimetric data are used for the determination of the geoid and components of deflections of the vertical.
The reduction of triangulation base lines from the geoid to the reference ellipsoid.
The west-European and the Russo-Scandinavian meridians indicate another anomaly of the geoid.
