      If I put the indicator in a top of a mountain, with the Wind level selector in “ground”, the reported wind should be considered at ground level? Otherwise, in order to obtain wind data on the top of a mountain (example 1800 m of height) should I select “2000 meters” on the wind level selector?

      Hope that Someone can clarify.. maybe this is a stupid question but I can not fully understand wind info ...

        So, at 1800m the wind near the ground is shown with altitude slider at Surface.
        If you set it at 2000m you get the wind in free atmosphere for example at 2000m between 2 mountains.
