Put me right if this isn't correct but I think they found out the Pacific was 4 inches higher when they built the Panama Canal, or was it 4 inches lower ? Tidal ranges differ certainly, but essentially the sea is essentially the same level the world over. There is a difference, depending on what how you define sea level. The level is higher at the equator because of the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning and the gravitational forces of the sun and the moon.

What is the elevation when you are at sea level?

The simple answer is zero feet elevation, but first of all, it is almost impossible to tell that you are at the exact sea level that is the average of all the different sea levels caused by all the different tide elevations. That is why GPS and surveying do not much use "mean sea level", anymore. These days "zero elevation" is determined by the strength of the field of gravity as calculated and measured all around the world.

How is pressure here different from pressure at sea level?
