How to Calculate Geopotential altitude?
Geopotential altitude calculator uses Geopotential altitude = [Earth-R]*Geometric Altitude/([Earth-R]+Geometric Altitude) to calculate the Geopotential altitude, Geopotential altitude is a vertical coordinate referenced to Earth's mean sea level, an adjustment to geometric height (altitude above mean sea level) that accounts for the variation of gravity with latitude and altitude. Geopotential altitude is denoted by h symbol.
How to calculate Geopotential altitude using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Geopotential altitude, enter Geometric Altitude (hG) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Geopotential altitude calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2998.588 = [Earth-R]*3000/([Earth-R]+3000).
