Abstract Update the production perl script to use the Terra and Aqua interim files.
Problem Statement Aqua and Terra data was not combinedly used in the Terra/Aqua C5 forwarding processing. The required Terra and Aqua interim files were not loaded because of incorrect values of LUNs used in the production script.
Description of Change Updated the production perl scripts to use the correct values of LUNs of the interim files in the pcfs.
Products Affected L3 Daily Land Surface Temperature (MOD11B1)
Software Affected PGE16
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 Tiles h08v05, h09v05, h08v06, h09v06 for 2007-039 - 2007-041.
Justification Quality of LST product though is still good without the fix, fusion of the two data sets reduces the uncertainty in the the retrieved surface emissivities in areas where topographic slope may be a factor in variations of surface emissivities.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change Data day 2007-100 for C5 Terra and Aqua Forward Processing.
