| Initiator | Bill Ridgway |
| Abstract | PGE83 v6.0.11. Modified PGE83_LoaderModule.pl to fetch M*D021KM input in re-processing. Further modified PGE83.pl to produce only the RGB images for this special version. |
| Problem Statement | This is a special version of PGE83 to be used only to reprocess RGB browse images using higher resolution MxD021KM data. It was found that C6 RGB browse images previously created using MxD02SSH were of lower quality. This was not a problem with forward stream products that did NOT use MxD02SSH. |
| Description of Change | -Modified PGE83_LoaderModule.pl to fetch MxD021KM data as input. -Modified PGE83.pl to produce only RGB images (no other browse images). -Updated the description attribute for SDS Cloud_Quality_Assurance from MYD06_L2 to MYDATML2. |
| Products Affected | MYDATML2/MODATML2 RGB Browse images |
| Software Affected | PGE83 v6.0.11 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra and Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | A one-day science test was done to verify proper RGB images were created. |
| Justification | Improve the quality of RGB browse images that had been degraded in comparison to C51. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Aqua: 2002/185-2014/303. Terra :2000/055-2015/020 |
| Status | Major algorithm development and testing completed. Bill Ridgway approved on 08/25/2015. |
