GEDI L4C Gridded Waveform Structural Complexity Index, Version 2
This dataset consists of gridded average estimates of Waveform Structural Complexity Index (WSCI) at 1-km resolution on a nearly global scale derived from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Level 4C (L4C) footprint-level WSCI data covering the observations starting on 2019-04-18 to 2023-03-17. Mean WSCI values were computed from high quality GEDI shots over the land surface, according to the quality flags available in the GEDI L4C dataset. This dataset enables users to assess spatial patterns of forest structural complexity at a coarse scale anywhere within the GEDI domain without the need to acquire and process GEDI footprint data. The data are provided in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF format.
