I noticed in your sailing photos the presence of a toroidal foam cushion,
the kind used by people who have had hemmorhoid surgery. Did you experience
any rectal soreness on your trip? Were you able to "accomodate" the locals?

Yo,

Yo man. Mean sea level is almost an arbitrary point. It's picked for a
best
fit of data. Mount Everest is not the tallest mountain when measured

from
the center of the earth. Chimborazo in Ecuador is. The ocean has
depressions
in it all over the place. Gravity is not the same over the earth's
surface.
The world standard for sea level and the gravitational constant is

located
here on Gilligans Island 10 meters from the stern of the Minnow, right
next
to the Captain Neal shrine. The Professor keeps it calibrated on a daily
basis.
Hope this helps.

Ep!

where is the zero point of "sea level" (gps coordinates) ????

in what sea/ocean ????

in what point ???

how is measured altitude of mountains ?

how mach meters have the Gaorisankar (Everest) ???
some people say 8.848 others 8.850... what is correct ???

Dead sea is at "sea level" ???

the big depression in water surface in Indic ocean of -300m. is also at

"sea
level" ??

after indic tsunami and global changes in planet "sea level" also

sufer
variations ???

I have no experience with hemorrhoids, but feel free to tell us all about
them, given that you would have to be an expert with all the activitiy
you're used to. Actually, don't.

Are you saying that Bush is causing the increase in
solar energy output?

That depends on how you set the datum. Look in the menus of your GPS
machine and see which datum sets are available, then Google up the
references to see which is most appropriate for your usage & area.

in what sea/ocean ????


Varies widely, "mean sea level" for specific areas is defined by averaging
out the tidal variation over a 19 year cycle.



how is measured altitude of mountains ?


With a very very long piece of string.



Oh for heavens sake! Please help me get the coffee off my monitor.
Just a side note, the string is usually emplaced by wild geocachers.

I had one once almost 20 years ago. I didn't know what it was at first.
Would you like to see a picture of it?

Love,

Primary first order bench marks are established at or near tide
stations. US Department of Commerce has charter for US. Data is
available from NOAA in Maryland. Satellites can be used but are less
accurate. NOAA has some publications describing the methods, theory
and technique of first order levels.

Mean sea level will vary with provincial gravity.
Rising mean sea level is as evasive as global warming.
