the levels refer to the height/level in the atmosphere - there's "info" links on CIMSS that explain it well
http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/misc/winds/info.winds.heights.html
mb km feet 150 13.7 45000 250 10.5 34000 350 8.0 26500 500 5.5 18000 600 4.3 14000 700 3.0 10000 850 1.5 5000 950 0.5 1500
and also a graphic from there that explains which level "usually" is used to determine what layer(s) to best use to determine steering, depending upon strength

when in doubt, keep clicking links... so much info there, it's hard to grasp it all (at least for me)
caveat - I am NOT educated in atmospheric science, but CT posters are great teachers, miss DM's input... |
