1. Radius Of Curvature In The Prime Vertical

   Linked via "gravity gradient tensor"

   Gravimetric Considerations
   The measurement of local gravity anomalies relies on precise knowledge of the Earth's geometric figure. The radial component of the gravity vector is dependent on the curvature normal to the reference surface. Specifically, the component of the gravity gradient tensor related to the east-west variation is governed by $1/N$. It has been postulated that variations in atmospheric pressure, specifically regional barometric depressions, …
