Aircraft Info in Flight Tracker

[neovida]

When I mouse over an aircraft in the graphical flight tracker it displays 3 lines of data. The middle line contains a sequence of numbers. What is the significance of those numbers?

Altitude in thousands of feet (so to speak). Example 360 = 36000’ (FL360) then speed in knots.

The first number is altitude in hundreds of feet followed by a ^ or v if it’s climbing or descending; the second number is the groundspeed in knots.
