GEDI analysis-ready height measurements

Description

High-quality satellite LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) height measurements from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission. 

The dataset was produced by excluding all GEDI shots where:

  • Quality Flag equal to 0
  • Degradation Flag larger than 0
  • Sensitivity smaller than 0.98

Furthermore, most used waveform attributes are extracted:

  • Elev_lowestmode - a GEDI estimate of the terrain height (absolute height from the WGS84 ellipsoid, EGM 2008)
  • RH-values - the relative height values for the energy levels of: 25%, 50%,75%, 98%, 99%, and 100%

together with auxiliary information:

  • Date in %mm%dd%yy as Integer
  • Geometry in the protection EPSG:4326
