Global canopy top height estimates from GEDI LIDAR waveforms for 2020

Canopy top height (RH98) is estimated from GEDI L1B waveforms globally between 51.6° N &amp; S from L1B Version 1 data from April-July 2020. The footprint level RH98 predictions are stored in hdf5 files corresponding to the orbit files of the GEDI L1B Version 1 data. See also the repository for the data from April-July 2019: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5704852. This repository also contains the file load_pred_RH98_files.py with more information on how to parse and load the prediction orbit files. <strong>GEDI mission website</strong>: https://gedi.umd.edu/. <strong>Citation: </strong> Use of these data require citation of this dataset: Lang, Nico, Kalischek, Nikolai, Armston, John, Schindler, Konrad, Dubayah, Ralph, &amp; Wegner, Jan Dirk.
