Problem Statement Value of metadata RANGEBEGINNINGDATE, RANGEENDINGDATE, NDAYSCOMPOISTED in MCD15A3 are incorrect - set to values from the 8-day period. But MCD15A3 is a 4-day composite product.

Products Affected MCD15A3
Software Affected PGE94 v5.0.8, PGE34 v.5.0.10

Downstream Product Effects None.
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Run ONE 8-day period for PGE34 and one 4-day period for PGE94
Justification The product will contain metadata value corresponding to product from a 8-day period and this will result in incorrect search result at the LP-DAAC.
