Converting GEDI data from hdf5 format to geojson or shp
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2023 10:15 am America/New_York
The procedure for setting up python environment to allow converting the gedi data from .h5 for format to geojson or shapefile is not working. I need to work with gedi level 2B v002 but I am stuck at the first step of setting up the python environment using the command prompt in windows, once I copy-paste this line 'conda create -n gedi -c conda-forge --yes python=3.7 h5py shapely geopandas pandas', the process keeps loading and loading, please see the screenshot 1. When I tried setting up the environment on a different machine, loading took at least hours 2 and it produced the error as in screen 2.
Lastly, I would like to know whether it is needed to subset the layers on earthdata search before downloading.
