Abstract PGE11 v5.3.36 successfully handles the noisy detector in 500m resolution band 5 of Terra MODIS.
Problem Statement Averaging of observations from noisy detector in Terra 500 m band 5 to 1 km resolution causes striping in the product.
Description of Change Added an algorithm for filling in the noisy detector with data from adjacent detectors (at 500m).
Products Affected MOD09
Software Affected PGE11 v5.3.36
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing, NRT
Downstream Product Effects None.
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Run 1-day global test for data day 2013-163.2010-059
Justification Band 5 is used in detection of snow within the PGE11 and without this change the snow flag could be adversely affected.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change Completed.
Status Science test completed; results evaluated by the Science Team at SCF and LDOPE. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 06/20/2013. Michael King approved on 6/20/2013.
