Abstract Improve runtime memory usage, update a quality flag and minor change in composite criteria.
Problem Statement Update algorithm to address memory/runtime concerns in production, update composite rule to find visually pleasing data in the absence of good quality data, and add 1 routine to update a previously unused quality flag. This algorithm is our internal composite and is not distributed to the public or stored via the LP-DAAC. The internal composite is used in MOD44A which is distributed publicly.
Description of Change Improve runtime by better use of memory, and update a quality flag for use with downstream product MOD44A. This is a redelivery of a change submitted in November. The previous delivery did not yield the desired results in the science test.
Products Affected Land Cover Change Intermediate (MOD44CQ, MOD44CH, MOD44CT)
Software Affected PGE72
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing
Downstream Product Effects LCC (MOD44A)
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing 10 tiles for 1 16-day period (2007-081); h09v05, h10v10, h12v02, h12v10, h15v01, h22v01, h23v02, h25v06, h29v12, h31v11.
Justification Improved runtime in production and enhanced ability to avoid false detections of change by avoiding poor quality data.
