Unable to download Landsat impervious surfaces

[mikiloan]

Hi there,
I've been working with GEDI data for a similar forest monitoring project in tropical regions, so I thought I'd chime in with some extra tips building on what @LP DAAC - lien suggested. First off, @faruwa_83, your setup sounds solid—using RH95 from GEDI L2A to complement PlanetScope NDVI/EVI and field plots is a great approach for wood quality modeling. Omo Forest's coordinates (around 6.7-7.1N, 4.2-4.6E) should have decent coverage from recent orbits, but yeah, the granule search can be tricky with the ongoing cloud reconciliation issues.
The GEDI Finder script they linked is a lifesaver for this—I've used it myself to query by bounding box and date range. Just input your lat/lon extents and filter for 2024/2025 data, and it'll spit out a list of intersecting granules (like O337xx series or newer). From there, you can feed those into earthaccess for bulk downloads; it's Python-based and handles authentication smoothly if you have an Earthdata login set up.
If you're sticking with the web interface, try narrowing in Earthdata Search with the spatial filter (draw a polygon over Omo) and temporal (e.g., 2023-01-01 to 2025-09-01) to avoid overload. Also, check the GEDI mission status page for any orbit updates: https://gedi.umd.edu/data/mission-status/. Sometimes stalled downloads are due to high traffic, so retrying during off-peak hours (US time) helps.
If you share more details like the exact error messages from your stalled downloads, I or the mods might be able to troubleshoot further. Hang in there—GEDI's been invaluable for my work too!
Cheers
