2 Tutorials Available for GEDI L4A dataset

Example subset of aboveground biomass density (AGBD; Mg ha-1) predictions from the GEDI Level-4A footprint version 2.1 product over Northern California, USA, spanning April to July 2019. GEDI footprints are spaced 60m along track and 600m across-track.

Two new learning resources are available to assist users in using the recently released GEDI L4A Footprint Level Aboveground Biomass Density, Version 1 dataset:

These Jupyter Notebook tutorials illustrate how to use the NASA Common Metadata Repository (CMR) Application Programming Interface (API) to get granule (file) names for user specified time period and area of interest, display the geometry of the selected granules, subset the dataset, and download the data in user selected format.

If your like these resources, you might be interested in others available from our Learning Resources Page.
