GEDI Product Long Name
The GEDI Product Long Name (i.e., Collection-Level) convention provides useful information regarding all GEDI products.
Below is an example of a GEDI Level 1B product. All GEDI Footprint-level Product Long Names for Version 2 follow the same basic structure.
The GEDI L1B Geolocated Waveform Data Global Footprint Level V002 collection has the following characteristics:
- GEDI – Instrument
- L1B – Processing Level
- Geolocated Waveform Data – Geophysical Parameter
- Global – Global Coverage
- V002 – Version
