Abstract Fix to correct the QA SDS and other bugs in MCD12Q2.
Problem Statement The QA SDS in MCD12Q2 is not populated correctly, coarse data file MCD12Q2C contained 240x240 SDS in a 480x480 data array, metadata values in some of metadata fields of MCD12Q2 were incorrect.
Description of Change Update the the processing code to correctly identify the SDS segment while writing the QA SDS for MCD12Q2, fix the SDS size for MCD12Q2C and correct the metadata fields based on the resolution of the output data.
Products Affected MCD12Q2
Software Affected PGE87
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 Run a global test for year 2005.
Justification QA SDS is required to use the science data meaningfully. Coarse data should be filled into the correct dimension structure, else data cannot be used to create the global browse.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change  
Status Science test run at MODAPS, evaluated and approved by LDOPE, Michael King approved on 05/14/10.
