OCA/H - Obstacle Clearance Altitude/Height
The lowest altitude/height above the elevation of the runway threshold or above the aerodrome elevation as applicable used in establishing compliance with appropriate obstacle clearance criteria.

In simpler words, it is the 'margin' from the highest obstacle in that area. There will be a further margin called the 'ops margin' from the OCA/H which will define the MDA/DA.
