GEDI

GEDI—launched in 2018—is attached to the ISS and investigates global ecosystems1.

We currently only support the L2A product, at version 2 and version 3 (released 2026). search returns version 3 by default; pass version = 2 for version 2.

See their website.

Use GEDI.Quality with filter or in an operation pipeline to apply the full algorithm-aware L2A quality criteria used by points(g; filtered=true). Apply GEDI.Sensitivity afterwards to retain returns above a sensitivity threshold.
