In cylindrical coordinates, the surface has radius $r=\sqrt{2}z$. It is the lateral surface of a right circular cone, with vertex at the origin and axis along positive $z$. Its height is $h$ and the limiting upper rim has radius $\sqrt{2}h$; the horizontal disk at that rim is absent. The half-angle from the vertical satisfiesThe upper rim is excluded by $z<h$, which does not affect any convergent surface integral. The vertex likewise contributes no area.
