- Home Page - GEDI
GEDI observes nearly all tropical and temperate forests using a self-contained laser altimeter on the International Space Station
- Mission Overview - GEDI
GEDI produces the first high resolution laser ranging observations of the 3D structure of the Earth GEDI makes precise measurements of forest canopy height, canopy vertical structure, and surface elevation
- Products Overview - GEDI
GEDI science data products include footprint and gridded data sets that describe the 3D features of the Earth These data products are assigned different levels, which indicate the amount of processing that the data has undergone after collection
- Instrument Overview - GEDI
GEDI is a full-waveform lidar instrument that makes detailed measurements of the 3D structure of the Earth’s surface Lidar is an active remote sensing technology (the laser version of radar) which uses pulses of laser light to measure 3D structure
- Applications Overview - GEDI
Applications Overview GEDI provides valuable data for many scientific and societal applications GEDI advances applications in a number of domains including water resource management, weather prediction, forest management, and geomorphometry
- Access - GEDI
GEDI data products are available at different resolutions and time intervals Data latency times (that is the time lag between when data are acquired and when a particular product is available) are given below
- Release of GEDI L4A Footprint-Level Aboveground Biomass Data for April . . .
The GEDI L4A dataset provides predictions of Aboveground Biomass Density (AGBD) in megagrams per hectare (Mg ha) along with estimates of uncertainty for each geolocated laser footprint
- Forest Management - GEDI
GEDI provides the observations needed to characterize how forest structure varies across major forest regions, climatic gradients, and disturbance intensities, thereby improving our understanding of how these factors interact to influence patterns of habitat quality and animal diversity
