Abstract PGE06 v6.1.5 Updated valid ranges on cloud optical thickness (to read from 0 to 15000) and cloud effective radius (to read from 400 to 6000) datasets in order to properly reflect the actual stored data.
Problem Statement To update the valid ranges on cloud optical thickness (to read from 0 to 15000) and cloud effective radius (to read from 400 to 6000) datasets in order to properly reflect the actual stored data.
Description of Change Updated valid ranges on cloud optical thickness (to read from 0 to 15000) and cloud effective radius (to read from 400 to 6000) datasets in order to properly reflect the actual stored data.
Products Affected MxD06_L2
Software Affected PGE06 6.1.5
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra and Aqua Forward Processing, NRT
Downstream Product Effects None
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Science test generated two days of L2 and L3 Atmosphere data and the data were verified for correctness.
Justification The new valid ranges on cloud optical thickness (to read from 0 to 15000) and cloud effective radius (to read from 400 to 6000) datasets will correctly reflect the archived data.
