The LP DAAC has migrated GEDI Version 2 Level 1B Geolocated Waveform (GEDI01_B), Level 2A Elevation and Height Metrics (GEDI02_A), and Level 2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics (GEDI02_B) data products to the NASA Earthdata Cloud. The NASA Earthdata Cloud is NASA’s cloud-based archive of Earth observations hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This migration allows for continued download of data files via HTTPS in Earthdata Search and offers a new option for working with these data in the cloud via Simple Storage Service (S3) direct access.
GEDI data products distributed from NASA’s Earthdata Cloud have a different LP DAAC provider and data product concept_ids. The LP DAAC will be updating scripts and tutorials from the LPDAAC_ECS provider to the LPCLOUD provider along with the concept_id updates listed below. Users will need to change their scripts accordingly.
GEDI on-premises data are no longer available through the Data Pool.
The subsetting capability has been implemented in NASA’s Earthdata Search to provide options for variable and spatial subsetting of GEDI Version 2 data in the cloud.
Please see our "A Getting Started Guide on how to Search, Order, and Download LP DAAC data with NASA Earthdata Search" quick guide for instructions on how to use NASA's Earthdata Search.
