Filtered canopy top height estimates from GEDI LIDAR waveforms for 2019 and 2020

<p>Canopy top height (RH98) is estimated from GEDI L1B waveforms globally between 51.6° N &amp; S from L1B Version 1 data for April-July 2019 and 2020. We refer to the original research article below for further information. The footprint data were filtered with respect to predictive uncertainty and MODIS non-vegetated probability.</p><p>The unfiltered data organized in hdf5 files corresponding to the orbit files of the GEDI L1B Version 1 data is available here:</p><p>April-July 2019: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5704852">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5704852</a></p><p>April-July 2020: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7737869">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7737869</a></p><p><strong>GEDI mission website</strong>: <a href="https://gedi.umd.edu/">https://gedi.umd.edu/</a>.</p><p><strong>Citation:</strong></p><p>Use of these data require citation of this dataset:</p><p>Lang, Nico, Kalischek, Nikolai, Armston, John, Schindler, Konrad, Dubayah, Ralph, &amp; Wegner, Jan Dirk.
