The GEDI L4A Footprint Biomass product\nconverts each high-quality waveform to an AGBD prediction, and the\nL4B product uses the sample present within the borders of each 1 km cell to\nstatistically infer mean AGBD.\n\nPlease see [User Guide](https://daac.ornl.gov/GEDI/guides/GEDI_L4B_Gridded_Biomass.html)\nfor more information.\n\nThe Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation [GEDI](https://gedi.umd.edu/)\nmission aims to characterize ecosystem structure and dynamics to enable\nradically improved quantification and understanding of the Earth's carbon cycle\nand biodiversity. 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### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n1000 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Pixel Size | Description |\n|------|-------|------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `MU` | Mg/ha | meters | Mean aboveground biomass density (MU): Estimated mean AGBD for the 1 km grid cell, including forest and non-forest. |\n| `V1` | | meters | Variance component 1 (V1): Uncertainty in the estimate of mean biomass due to the field-to-GEDI model used in L4A. |\n| `V2` | | meters | Variance component 2 (V2) - If Mode of Inference = 1, this is the uncertainty due to GEDI's sampling of the 1 km cell. - If Mode of Inference = 2, this is uncertainty owing to the model predicting biomass using wall-to-wall data, calibrated with the L4A footprint product. |\n| `SE` | Mg/ha | meters | Mean aboveground biomass density standard error (SE): Standard Error of the mean estimate, combining sampling and modeling uncertainty. |\n| `PE` | % | meters | Standard error as a fraction of the estimated mean AGBD (PE).
