Hello, Unfortunately, LAI is not a layer in the GEDI L2B dataset. The most similar (but not interchangeable) layer would be the plant area index (PAI). You can view the dataset layers in the GEDI L2B Data Dictionary: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/980/gedi_l2b_dictionary_P003_v2.html?_ga=2.184374...

Good Morning, Sorry for the confusion with the MOD44B in the STAC. Please note MOD44B 6.1 is in the STAC Catalog, but it's under the LPDAAC_ECS provider > https://cmr.earthdata.nasa.gov/stac/LPDAAC_ECS/collections/MOD44B.v061 This is a data collection that is still being served from on-premises, so ...

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. The data providers did not say what the hold up was, but since you wrote we are back to leading edge. The data through May 23 is in. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Rishabh, The native format of the MCD18A1 as is with all MODIS is HDF. Maybe other forum users have thoughts on changing the many files from HDF to Geotiff. There are many different ways to access the data. You can alweays the Earthdata Search Tool: https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search Howeve...

Hi,
That would be a question for Google Earth Engine. GEE is not an LPDAAC site so we would have no idea on this. Because the MOD16A2 is a temporary product they may not. But that would be a questions for them.
Thanks,
Brett

Hi, Sorry for the hassles with the MYD11C1, the Climate Modeling Grids are a little different to work with then the tiled products. There is the Time of daytime (nighttime) observation SDS layer, but I am guessing it does not do you a lot of good if you do not have the coordinate that it goes with i...

Hi Maye, Sorry for the delay, we passed your questions to the GEDI developers for their suggestions, please see the following: See the L2A ATBD. Only minor smoothing (2 ns Gaussian width) has been applied to reduce high frequency noise and eliminate ADC artifacts. The user may wish to apply addition...

Hello, The GEDI science team responded: There is sufficient information in the ATBD to derive an RH metric, but unfortunately no code examples. The L2A code is not yet publicly available, but derivation of RH metrics from simulated GEDI waveforms is available in the GEDI simulator (https://bitbucket...

Hello It has not been processed for clouds and snow. Pixel level QA information from clouds are stored in the MOD09GA 1KM State flags. MODIS Surface Reflectance does not view cloud pixels as bad but rather a state of being. So it collects the reflectance off of cloud tops or snow just as it would dr...

Hello,
Sorry for the delay on this. We were in contact with the Ecostress Science team, and we are quite sure this is a cloud top issue. I double checked with MODIS data for that time an area and MODIS called it fill because of cloud issues
Thanks,
Brett
