Google Earth engine (GEE) - Gedi L2a vector canopy top height (version 2) global ecosystem data set

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission aims to characterize ecosystem structure and dynamics to enable radically improved quantification and understanding of the Earth's carbon cycle and biodiversity. The GEDI instrument, attached to the International Space Station (ISS), collects data globally between 51.6° N and 51.6° S latitudes at the highest resolution and densest sampling of the 3-dimensional structure of the Earth.

GEDI's Level 2A Geolocated Elevation and Height Metrics Product (GEDI02_A) is primarily composed of 100 Relative Height (RH) metrics, which collectively describe the waveform collected by GEDI.

The original GEDI02_A product is a table of point with a spatial resolution (average footprint) of 25 meters. The GEDI L2A Monthly raster data can be found in the image collection LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_A_002_MONTHLY.

The GEDI L4B biomass data can be found in the image LARSE/GEDI/GEDI04_B_002.
