chidi_mma , If you haven’t already, I’d encourage you to read the GEDI manuscript written by Ralph Dubayah and others (2020) - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.srs.2020.100002. That may help with some of your questions. What GEDI beams (power vs coverage) you decide to use is dependent on your research re...

Hey All, For those having issues with boto3 in Python when trying to download from and list objects in S3, please make sure you check the following: 1. Make sure you are working from an cloud compute instance running in AWS us-west-2 2. Make sure your credentials are not expired. Temporary S3 creden...

mitchbon , I was able to run the notebook you shared. As you mentioned, it works but it’s relatively slow. Unfortunately, we don’t know why there’s such a difference in speed, but we will look it and see if something on our side we can do to improve the performance. In the meantime, there are alter...

lesimppa , The notebook you refer to will only work if you are executing the notebook in AWS region us-west-2. If you are trying to access data that resides in Earthdata Cloud from a machine outside AWS, e.g. from your laptop, you have to use the HTTPS endpoint. This notebook gives a quick Python e...

@rosettastoned ,

How are you planning to work with the GEDI data? Through an interface like ArcGIS or QGIS, or programmatically using Python?

@mitchbon ,

Would you be able to share your script? If you have a GitHub repository for your work, please post the link. Otherwise, you can attach the script or notebook here in the forum, or you can send it to LP DAAC User Services (LPDAAC@usgs.gov)

canacelqr123 , If the URLs in your list start with https://data.lpdaac.earthdatacloud.nasa.gov/ , then you are access the source data which is only available in HDF. If you are using AppEEARS, you can request data be returned in GeoTIFF/COG format. A list can be generated to those AppEEARS output a...

africanriskcapacity , Thanks for point this out. As you probably know, the LP DAAC is migrating its on-prem data to the Earthdata Cloud. With this comes a few changes, which you stumbled upon, and we apologized for the inconvenience. The .hdf.xml file you know from the on-prem data distribution sys...

Something to note, when interacting with S3 buckets or trying to access data directly in S3 is that you must be running your code/making requests from AWS region us-west-2.

I'm still looking in to why the code you posted does not work. Seems like it should but I'm getting an access denied error as well. In the meantime, the below code may be able to help. It uses Python's s3fs instead and shows how to list the contents within a bucket and how to download a file. ``` im...
