CMS: Global Mangrove Canopy Height Maps Derived from TanDEM-X, 2015
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.3334/ornldaac/2251
This dataset characterizes canopy heights of mangrove-forested wetlands globally for 2015 at 12-m resolution.
Description
Estimates of maximum canopy height (height of the tallest tree) were derived from the German Space Agency's TanDEM-X data that produced global digital surface models. Also provided are Lidar estimates of canopy height based on the GEDI instrument, which were used for training and validation of the TanDEM-X estimates of forest height.
The coverage of these data follows Global Mangrove Watch's mangrove extent maps. These spatially explicit maps of mangrove canopy height can be used to assess local-scale geophysical and environmental conditions that may regulate forest structure and carbon cycle dynamics. Maps revealed a wide range of canopy heights, including maximum values (>60 m) that surpass maximum heights of other forest types.

Maps are provided in cloud optimized GeoTIFF format, and mangrove heights for individual GEDI tiles are compiled in a comma separated values (CSV) files.
