Wind Elevation above surface

[timarto]

Hi there,

Can someone please tell me if the height slider to adjust the forecast wind above the ground surface is height above ground level or sea level?

I am a pilot and this obviously has quite big consequences when flying inland from the sea in mountainous areas.

Regards,
Tim

When Altitude slider is set at Surface, it shows wind at ground level.

If you select a mountain with the picker, for instance at 4000m and chose the wind map, you will see that wind doesn’t change at all when you will vary the levels with your slider from 0 up to 4000m
