Sea level
Mean sea level (MSL) is the average (mean) height of the
sea, with reference to a suitable reference surface. Defining the reference level
[1], however, involves complex measurement, and accurately determining MSL can prove difficult.Mean Sea Level as used by military Flight Surgeons and Aerospace Units: Using pressure to measure altitude results in two other types of altitude. True or MSL (mean sea level) is the next best measurement to absolute - and in some ways better. MSL tells you how far you are above an imaginary line at sea level. If you then know the elevation of terrain, the next step is to determine how far you are above ground. It also tells you how thin the air is, which determines your physiological response to that altitude. True Altitude (MSL) has been adjusted for local high or low pressure conditions. FL or Flight Level is another related term that is measured in hundreds of feet. At a standard pressure that correlates to 18,000 feet, the flight level is one-eight-zero.

Livello del mare
Il livello del mare è l'altezza della superficie del
mare a meno delle variazioni dovute alle
maree. Il livello del mare varia continuamente, sia nel breve termine, a causa del moto ondoso e del vento, sia nel medio termine, a causa della variazione della pressione atmosferica al passaggio di perturbazioni meteorologiche, e di fenomeni astronomici come l'attrazione gravitazionale, che il
Sole e la
Luna esercitano sugli oceani.
