Abstract New PGE107 v6.0.5 produces global browse images from M[O/Y]D09CRS surface reflectance subsets. “MODIS_BROWSE_products.xls” is the complete list of new products.
Problem Statement New global surface reflectance browse product will be produced by a new PGE107. Corresponding global atmospheric browse products will be made by new PGE108. These PGEs produce images only.
Description of Change New PGE produces global browse from M[O/Y]D09CRS surface reflectance subsets. Reference attached file “MODIS_BROWSE_products.xls” for complete list of new products.
Products Affected No current products are impacted. PGE107 will require M[O/Y]D09CS as input.
Software Affected PGE107 v6.0.5
Processing String to Receive the Change  
Downstream Product Effects None.
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Run global test to demonstrate successful production of products. Samples are archived at http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/PGE_Test_Archive/PGE107.v6.0.5.2010-059
Justification Atmosphere team requested new Global Browse to include RGB from Level-1B and samples of aerosol, cloud and water vapor products. Products to be archived in LAADS and made available through a web interface similar to the LDOPE system.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change ASAP
