Geoid height of new global gravity field models on the 3D globe (“Earth potato”)

he effective gravity on our planet’s surface ranges by about 0.7 percent, from 9.7639 m/s2 on the Nevado Huascarán mountain in Peru to 9.8337 m/s2 at the surface of the Arctic Ocean. In large cities, it varies from 9.766 in Mexico City, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur to 9.825 in Oslo and Helsinki.
