GEDI L1A data access

Hello,
The Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) for GEDI Transmit and Receive Waveform Processing for L1 and L2 Products says:

"...end users wanting access to the raw waveform can request the L1A data
product."

Hi,
There are several ways to get the data. You could go to the Earthdata Search tool and order through it: https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search

Also, there are some python and R scripts available to access the data: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/tools/data-prep-scripts/
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Brett

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
Are you sure those options provide access to L1A data? I do not see L1A on EarthdataSearch, for example.
Thank you.

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Version 1 data products were decommissioned on February 15, 2022.
Please see the News Announcement here: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/news/gedi-version-1-data-products-decommissioned-on-february-15-2022/
Thank you,

Hello,
I’m hoping to access Level 1A data (as distinct from Version 1 data) which the ATBD says can be requested.
Thank you.
