21.11.6 Output Compare Register 1 A Low and High byte
The OCR1AL and OCR1AH register pair represents the 16-bit value, OCR1A.The low byte [7:0] (suffix L) is accessible at the original offset. The high byte [15:8] (suffix H) can be accessed at offset + 0x01. For more details on reading and writing 16-bit registers, refer to Accessing 16-bit Registers.

Bits 15:0 – OCR1A[15:0] Output Compare 1 A
The Output Compare Registers contain a 16-bit value that is continuously compared with the counter value (TCNT1). A match can be used to generate an Output Compare interrupt, or to generate a waveform output on the OC1A pin.
The Output Compare Registers are 16-bit in size. To ensure that both the high and low bytes are written simultaneously when the CPU writes to these registers, the access is performed using an 8-bit temporary High Byte Register (TEMP). This temporary register is shared by all the other 16-bit registers. Refer to Accessing 16-bit Timer/Counter Registers for details.
