Abstract Code updates to the current operational version 5.3.24.
Problem Statement Full resolution outputs had been only partially HDFEOS compatible, due to a bug in a algorithm which starts the SDSs. Update the production rule to designate MOD35 as a required input. Loader module ocassionaly failed to load Ozone in the POD version.
Description of Change Fix of the algorithm which starts the SDS. Update the production rule and implementation of the rule at MODAPS.
Products Affected Only the metadata of the Level 2 full-resolution surface reflectance product (MOD09) is affected -- products at other resolutions (MOD09CRS and MOD09IDT/N/S) are unaffected. MOD09 L2 granules in the POD version is affected by this update - use of ept file
Software Affected PGE11 v5.3.29
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra Forward, Aqua Forward
Downstream Product Effects None anticipated.
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Run science tests generating global data for data day 2010354 and 2003193.
Justification Various downstream postprocessing programs require a more complete HDFEOS compatibility, which is delivered by these changes.Though PGE11 doesn't use cloud mask from MOD35, it must pass the cloud mask for use by downstream PGEs.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change  
Status Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 01/05/2011. This is an internal PCR documenting the verification of successful testing of the PGE version code updates to the current operational version 5.3.24. No further science testing is required.
