GEDI parameters information.

Parameters name	description	Parameters name	description
cover	Total canopy cover,	DEM	Digital elevation model
fhd_normal	Foliage Height Diversity index calculated by vertical foliage profifile normalized by total plant area index	landsat_treecover	Landsat tree canopy cover
leaf_off_doy	Leaf off day of year	leaf_on_doy	Leaf on day of year
modis_treecover	Percent tree cover from MODIS data	modis_nonvegetated	Percent non-vegetated from MODIS data
pai	Total plant area index	pgap_thea	Estimated Pgap(theta) for the selected L2A algorithm.
rg	Integral of the ground component in the RX waveform	rh100	Height above ground of the received waveform signal start
rv	Integral of the vegetation component in the RX waveform	sensitivity	Maximum canopy cover that can be penetrated considering the SNR of the waveform
degrad_flag	Non-zero values indicate the shot occurred during a degraded period. A non-zero tens digit indicates degraded attitude, a non-zero ones digit indicates a degraded trajectory.	quality_flag	Flag simplifying selection of most useful data for Level 2B
