Bookmark or Share- Applications Overview - GEDIGEDI 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.
- Instrument Overview - GEDIGEDI 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.
- Access - GEDIAll GEDI data products are available for free download. 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.
- Home Page - GEDITHE MISSION SCIENCE. GEDI will provide answers to how deforestation has contributed to atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, how much carbon forests will absorb in the future, and how habitat degradation will affect global biodiversity. THE INSTRUMENT & PLATFORM.
- Calibration/Validation - GEDINASA’s Land Vegetation and Ice Sensor (LVIS) plays a key role in the calibration and validation of the GEDI lidar waveform simulator and data product algorithms. LVIS is deployed post-launch along GEDI ground tracks for assessment of the quality of GEDI Level 1 to Level 4 data products.
