Abstract To implement updates in PGE04 v6.0.44 that fixes the population of diagnostic cloud fraction SDSs for Land and Ocean.
Problem Statement Problem with 3km Dark Target algorithm where it failed to properly populate two diagnostic SDSs, namely cloud fractions for Land and Ocean.
Description of Change Modified Subroutines MOD_PR04_V2.f, Process_land_V6.f, Process_ocean_V2.f to fix the problem in M*D04_3K product cloud fraction SDSs.
Products Affected M*D04_3K only
Software Affected PGE04 v6.0.44
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing
Downstream Product Effects None.
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Several days were run successfully with results in AS 1227.2010-059
Justification Provides fix to diagnostic cloud fraction SDSs that were not being properly populated
Effective Date for Implementation of Change Effective ASAP for both Aqua and Terra C6 forward reprocessing
Status Major algorithm development and testing completed. Steve Platnick approved on 11/13/2014. Michael King approved on 11/13/2014.
