The altitude and temperature are probably in meters and Celsius.  The displayed track suggests that it had to get high enough for the shoreline digipeaters (also displayed) to hear it.

Ian this is what I got from the station with the balloon icon:

 

KD8TDF-11  14:46 (yesterday)

 

138.96/104.417/A=8995.6/T=-1/

FeatherHab MI

 

dist:9.3

 

I assume the A figure is the altitude and the T is the temp.
