Normal height

Normal heights is a type of height above sea level introduced by the Soviet scientist Mikhail Molodenskii. The normal height of a point is defined as the quotient of a point's geopotential number C, by the vertically averaged normal gravity:
- H N = C / γ ¯ The average is evaluated along the normal potential's plumb line. The evaluation ranges from the Earth ellipsoid up to the point of interest; the procedure is thus recursive.
Normal heights are slightly dependent upon the reference ellipsoi
