Abstract
Preliminary observations have been made from a ship of the warping of the geoid across the Puerto Rico Trench. Astrogeodetic and gravimetric measurements of the deflections of vertical and the corresponding level-surface profiles are compared for this site. The accuracies at which level-surface topography would provide a useful datum at sea are mentioned with reference to oceanographic requirements.Keywords
