What does 'Apply Earth Gravitational Model' tick box do when using an External DEM for Range Doppler Terrain Correction?

Terrain correction working a lot better than ellipsoid for me, here are some offshore platforms of known location (green points). EGM08 lines up nicely, Ellipsoid Correction shifted east ~320m (and took 30 minutes compared to 18 for TC on my laptop).
