| Abstract | PGE06 v6.1.4: Updated MOD_PR04DB code. |
| Problem Statement | PGE06 v6.1.3 has a small bug impacting retrievals for single scan lines. The small bug in Cloud Optical Properties code was causing an occasional missing scan line in Cloud Optical Property SDS’s at the beginning of a granule (the first scan line of a granule) under certain conditions, for example, where dust cuts across the boundary of two sequential granules. |
| Description of Change | Logic was corrected to avoid failures to process first scan line. |
| Products Affected | MOD_PR04DB |
| Software Affected | PGE06 v6.1.4 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra and Aqua Forward Reprocessing. Terra and Aqua Reprocessing. NRT |
| Downstream Product Effects | None |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | One day Science for Terra 2017/289 confirmed that the patch was successful |
| Justification | Restored missing retrievals on first scan line of some granules |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Forward Processing: Target date for implementation is 1/1/2018 Re-Processing: No active Terra reprocessing. Use immediately for start of Aqua C6.1 reprocessing NRT Processing: NRT Target date for implementation is 1/1/2018 |
| Status | Major algorithm development completed. Steve Platnick approved 12/18/2017. Michael King approved on 12/18/2017. Gang Ye implemented 01/03/2018. |
