The GEDI instrument, attached to the International Space\nStation (ISS), collects data globally between 51.6° N and 51.6° S\nlatitudes at the highest resolution and densest sampling of the\n3-dimensional structure of the Earth. The GEDI instrument consists of three\nlasers producing a total of eight beam ground transects, which instantaneously\nsample eight \\~25 m footprints spaced approximately every 60 m along-track.\n\n| Product | Description |\n|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| L2A Vector | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_A_002](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_A_002) |\n| L2A Monthly raster | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_A_002_MONTHLY](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_A_002_MONTHLY) |\n| L2A table index | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_A_002_INDEX](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_A_002_INDEX) |\n| L2B Vector | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_B_002](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_B_002) |\n| L2B Monthly raster | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_B_002_MONTHLY](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_B_002_MONTHLY) |\n| L2B table index | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI02_B_002_INDEX](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI02_B_002_INDEX) |\n| L4A Biomass Vector | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI04_A_002](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI04_A_002) |\n| L4A Monthly raster | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI04_A_002_MONTHLY](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI04_A_002_MONTHLY) |\n| L4A table index | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI04_A_002_INDEX](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI04_A_002_INDEX) |\n| L4B Biomass | [LARSE/GEDI/GEDI04_B_002](/earth-engine/datasets/catalog/LARSE_GEDI_GEDI04_B_002) |\n\n### Table Schema\n\n**Table Schema**\n\n| Name | Type | Description |\n|------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------|\n| table_id | STRING | GEDI L4A table collection Ids |\n| time_start | STRING | GEDI L4A table start time in the ISO 8601 format |\n| time_end | STRING | GEDI L4A table end time in the ISO 8601 format |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\nThis dataset is in the public domain and is available\nwithout restriction on use and distribution.
