Yes, I agree. Well said. And if thermal vectors were such a big factor, I would think we would see different deviation patterns and more generalized patterns. Although there are some larger area patterns they appear with altitude, mountain ranges, except for east USA where the Appalachian...
Yes, and when I was making my correction I was referring to the total measured deviation meaning that your value of 0.00001 m/s^2 is more likely to be accurate.
Correct
I would think if it was a factor, then it would inevitably be measured but may have been nulled after running some math on...
"The acceleration g varies by about 1/2 of 1 percent with position on Earth’s surface, from about 9.78 meters per second per second at the Equator to approximately 9.83 meters per second per second at the poles." In OP Britannica reference.
and
"Gravity on the Earth's surface varies by around...
Thats interesting but I don't understand the explanation as with the ground "springing back" the density would decrease but the mass would stay the same or even increase with more water in the ground. I may be very wrong.
You are correct, in consequence any measured variation in general only deviates +-0.0698m/s^2. At least as measured with GRACE (https://www2.csr.utexas.edu/grace/publications/).
Even looking visually.
As far as my initial reference, ""Because the distribution of materials deep inside the Earth...
I was suggesting potential answers that ARE mainstream that I may be unaware of. As for the theories aspect, I will refrain from that in the future. I was looking for a productive discussion and your hostility is not adding anything constructive.
I did not see that anywhere and I find that hard to believe as that is a key function of a forum. Math and science are ever evolving, and I have seen countless posts and threads where theory is discussed. At the end of the day I was looking for an explanation of an observed phenomenon. I don't...
I stumbled upon gravitational variations that do not coincide with altitude, latitude or lunar interference. The only logical explanation I have for this would be the geology or makeup of the earth below those locations. But what is the variation of the Earths makeup below the crust? From my...
