The geoid is the equipotential surface of the Earth’s gravity (gravitation plus the centrifugal effect of rotation) that coincides with the mean sea surface over the open oceans, at rest, and is continued beneath the continents. The geoid height at a point is the height of the geoid above the reference ellipsoid, counted negative where the geoid lies below it.
