      This doesn't make much sense to me, surface, would be the surface I assume. But I don't know what 'h' represents, nor the value preceding it. I googled geopotential value and didn't find anything useful.

      What does 1000h mean? What does 150h mean?

        I guess "h" is for "hPa"; you can see the same values on Windy UI (on Levels control).

          @vsinceac Thank you, it would be helpful if this was noted in the docs, or if they used the SI symbol for it

            Of course adding this info in API docs should be doable and useful.
            Changing the API is more difficult: it would require all API clients to change the queries, then anyway values format in queries is just a convention.
