Baranov elevation
The value HBN found for the orthometric elevation H N of a point PN by dividing the value of the potential function W N per unit mass at PN (considering the value of the potential function on the geoid to be 0) by an approximation 1/2(tf + g N) to the average value of the acceleration of gravity between the geoid and PN. g N is the value of the acceleration at PN, tf is the value of the acceleration (calculated by a standard gravity formula) on the geoid at the latitude f of PN: HBN = 2W N/tf + g N). W N is calculated from the measured differences DH n of elevation between points Pn-1 and Pn along a route from point Po on the geoid to PN, and the measured or otherwise determine values gn of the acceleration at Pn: W N = S g N DH n, (n = 1 to N) or, for infinitesimal separations dH between points along the route,
