Re: GEDI Coverage vs. Full Power Beams
GEDI coverage beams (beams 0000, 0001, 0010, and 0011) were designed to penetrate canopies of up to 95% canopy cover under “average” conditions. For this reason, it is recommended to preference the GEDI full power beams in cases of dense vegetation.

The LP DAAC is forwarding your inquiry to the subject matter expert for assistance.
Re: GEDI Coverage vs. Full Power Beams
What determines what beams to use and do both type of beam contain different information?
