Jun 26, 2014 at 14:36 comment added Weston Check out the Minute Physics: What is Sea Level? video. The issue is that in almost every local application of mapping up and down is defined by gravity, but stepping back to global models gravity complicates everything because it's not consistant. It's also worth noting that "down" is rarely pointed towards the center of the earth.
