Long vowels are extended vowels, while short vowels are cut off, as indicated by an H (end exhalation). This has some exceptions in English, especially with R-shaped vowels (many "er" words are pronounced as "ur").

The long vowels "say the name" of the letter (ay, ee, eye, oh, yoo, but also oo), while short vowels do not : ah, eh, ih, aah, uh, and oo-uh (the short oo).
