Description
[Version 1.1 includes footprint level predictions]
Canopy top height (RH98) is estimated from GEDI L1B waveforms globally between 51.6° N & S. The map is based on the first four months of L1B data (April-July 2019). The sparse predictions are averaged at 0.5 degree resolution (approx. 55 km raster cells at the equator) to obtain a dense map. We refer to the original research article below for further information.
