Abstract To implement updates to PGE11 v5.3.38 which improve the CMG intermediate products that include orbital data with maneuvers in them.
Problem Statement Orbits with maneuvers were generating segmentation faults during the cloud shadow algorithm, which impacted the CMG intermediate products of MOD_PR09.exe, making them useless. No other products were affected
Description of Change The addition of an algorithm for recognizing which granules were obtained during an orbital maneuver and rejecting them from the CMG intermediate product and cloud shadow algorithm.
Products Affected The CMG intermediate products MOD09IDT, MOD09IDS, and MOD09IDN.
Software Affected PGE11 v5.3.38
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra Forward, Aqua Forward
Downstream Product Effects MOD09CMG (product of MOD_PR09C.exe in PGE75)
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing Run 1-day global test for data day 2014-248 and 2010-0592010-059
Justification This change improves the MOD09CMG product by including data from orbits that have had maneuvers in them.
Effective Date for Implementation of Change Completed.
Status Algorithm development and testing completed. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 09/30/2014. Michael King approved on 10/02/2014.
