The LP DAAC has migrated GEDI Version 2 Level 1B Geolocated Waveform (GEDI01_B), Level 2A Elevation and Height Metrics (GEDI02_A), and Level 2B Canopy Cover and Vertical Profile Metrics (GEDI02_B) data products to the NASA Earthdata Cloud. The NASA Earthdata Cloud is NASA’s cloud-based archive of Earth observations hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS). This migration allows for continued download of data files via HTTPS in Earthdata Search and offers a new option for working with these data in the cloud via Simple Storage Service (S3) direct access.
GEDI data products distributed from NASA’s Earthdata Cloud have a different LP DAAC provider and data product concept_ids. The LP DAAC will be updating scripts and tutorials from the LPDAAC_ECS provider to the LPCLOUD provider along with the concept_id updates listed below. Users will need to change their scripts accordingly.
GEDI01_B.002 from “C1908344278-LPDAAC_ECS” to “C2142749196-LPCLOUD”
GEDI02_A.002 from “C1908348134-LPDAAC_ECS” to “C2142771958-LPCLOUD"
GEDI02_B.002 from “C1908350066-LPDAAC_ECS” to “C2142776747-LPCLOUD"
GEDI on-premises data are no longer available through the Data Pool.
The subsetting capability has been implemented in NASA’s Earthdata Search to provide options for variable and spatial subsetting of GEDI Version 2 data in the cloud.
Please see our "A Getting Started Guide on how to Search, Order, and Download LP DAAC data with NASA Earthdata Search" quick guide for instructions on how to use NASA's Earthdata Search. https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/documents/2052/Getting_Started_with_Earthdata_Search.pdf

Re: GEDI Version 2 Migrates to NASA’s Earthdata Cloud
Hello there,
Just want to know how can users update their scripts to access GEDI Version 2 data in NASA’s Earthdata Cloud, and what are the new providers and concept_ids for these products?

Re: GEDI Version 2 Migrates to NASA’s Earthdata Cloud
Hi @miketaku111,
Our GEDI GitHub repository has been updated to work with version to data distributed from Earthdata Cloud. The repository can be found here: https://github.com/nasa/GEDI-Data-Resources/tree/main
There are a couple resources that will address your question. The GEDI Finder Tutorial (https://github.com/nasa/GEDI-Data-Resources/blob/main/python/tutorials/GEDI_Finder_Tutorial_Python.ipynb) uses the proper provider and concept_ids to query for GEDI data in Earthdata Cloud. Additionally, the Find and Access GEDI Data how-to (https://github.com/nasa/GEDI-Data-Resources/blob/main/python/how-tos/how-to-find-and-access-GEDI-data_earthaccess.ipynb) does the same but also highlights the use of the `earthaccess` python packages.
