pub fn normal_gravity_mps2(
    lat_rad: f64,
    height_m: f64,
) -> Result<f64, InertialError>
Expand description

WGS84 Somigliana normal gravity magnitude at geodetic latitude and height.

The returned magnitude is positive downward along the geodetic normal. The height continuation is the WGS84 Taylor expression for normal gravity above the ellipsoid, using the same WGS84 rotation and GM constants as the rest of the core.
