I think this is maybe a feature request rather than an issue, but even for modest areas of interest, downloading and processing a small region of GEDI requires a large quantity of local storage. Using the current methods, the entirety of the swaths have to be downloaded and then processing to subset to an AOI can be done. Would it be possible to extend this method to download a swath, and clip it to an AOI, and then cleanup the download, retaining only the spot points which intersect an area of interest?
Currently I can't actually process an AOI because I keep filling up my hard-drive(s).
