[ykudwfen] Geoid

For every truncation of the Legendre spherical harmonic expansion of the shape of the earth, what are the most radially positive and negative deviations?

For EGM96, what is the point of greatest deviation? Is it Everest? Or do the Himalayas and Tibetan plateau induce enough of a term that Everest does not deviate too much from it?
