Table 1 Quality filtering criteria for selecting high fidelity GEDI footprints
From: Characterizing the structural complexity of the Earth’s forests with spaceborne lidar
Filter | Description |
|---|---|
algorithm_run_flag = 1 | L2B algorithms were applied |
degrade_flag = 0 | Low degradation of geolocation performance |
land_cover_data/landsat_water_persistence <10 & land_cover_data/urban_proportion <50 | Non-urban land surface waveforms |
rx_maxamp > 8 * sd_corrected | Maximum waveform amplitude at least 8x its standard deviation |
sensitivity > 0.95 (0.98 at the tropics) | High sensitivity shots |
land_cover_data/pft_class in [1,2,3,4,5,6,11] | Plant Functional Types with tree cover |
