NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) is pleased to announce the availability of the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Version 2 Level 1B Geolocated Waveform Data, Level 2A Elevation and Height Metrics Data, and Level 2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics Data for April 27, 2024 through November 28, 2024. This data delivery will mark the first release since the GEDI instrument was re-installed on the International Space Station (ISS). Operations have resumed and users can expect deliveries again on a regular cadence. Please note that no acquisitions occurred while the GEDI instrument was in storage resulting in a data gap from March 17, 2023 to April 27, 2024.
A link for the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) landing page for each of the GEDI datasets is provided below.
- GEDI L1B Geolocated Waveform Data Global Footprint Level - GEDI01_B
- GEDI L2A Elevation and Height Metrics Data Global Footprint Level - GEDI02_A
- GEDI L2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics Data Global Footprint Level - GEDI02_B
Users can access the data products through NASA’s Earthdata Search.
