The geoid undulation (also known as geoid height or geoid anomaly), N, is the height of the geoid relative to a given ellipsoid of reference. N = h − H {\displaystyle N=h-H} The undulation is not standardized, as different countries use different mean sea levels as reference, but most commonly refers to the EGM96 geoid.
Anomaly (physics), a failure of a symmetry of a theory's classical action; Conformal anomaly, a quantum phenomenon that breaks the conformal symmetry of the classical theory; Chiral anomaly, an anomalous nonconservation of a chiral current; Gauge anomaly, the effect of quantum mechanics that invalidates the gauge symmetry of a quantum field theory
The gravity anomaly at a location on the Earth's surface is the difference between the observed value of gravity and the value predicted by a theoretical model. If the Earth were an ideal oblate spheroid of uniform density, then the gravity measured at every point on its surface would be given precisely by a simple algebraic expression.
Anomaly detection finds application in many domains including cybersecurity, medicine, machine vision, statistics, neuroscience, law enforcement and financial fraud to name only a few. Anomalies were initially searched for clear rejection or omission from the data to aid statistical analysis, for example to compute the mean or standard deviation.
Gravity anomaly, difference between the observed gravity and a value predicted from a model Bouguer anomaly, anomaly in gravimetry; Free-air anomaly, gravity anomaly that has been computed for latitude and corrected for elevation of the station; Iridium anomaly, an unusual abundance of what is normally a very rare element in the Earth's crust
The isostatic anomaly or IA is defined as the Bouger anomaly minus the gravity anomaly due to the subsurface compensation, and is a measure of the local departure from isostatic equilibrium. At the center of a level plateau, it is approximately equal to the free air anomaly . [ 12 ]
Abnormality (or dysfunctional behavior or maladaptive behavior or deviant behavior) is a behavioral characteristic assigned to those with conditions that are regarded as dysfunctional.
The gravity anomaly, or "gravity hole", is centered southwest of Sri Lanka and Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of mainland India, and east of the Horn of Africa.Due to weaker local gravity, the sea level in the IOGL would be up to 106 m (348 ft) lower than the global mean sea level (reference ellipsoid), if not for minor effects such as tides and currents in the Indian Ocean.
