Abstract PGE72 v6.0.4 Change the lunfile array in MOD44C.c from 5 to 4 to reflect the correct number of inputs. Change lunfile[3] to lunfile[2]. Change PARAMETER250 from 100 to 150
Problem Statement PGE fails to process some of the tiles in the C6 forward processing stream running on the Centos-7 system
Description of Change The C6 operational version of PGE72 failed at random when the operational forward processing transitioned to the Centos-7 system mainly because of bad memory. PGE required cleaning up of the source code used to process the input product in the L2G-heavy format. Cleaned the source codes, variables, reference to select the required number of inputs while using the L2G-lite formatted product as input.
Products Affected MOD44CH, MOD44CQ, MYD44CH, MYD44CQ
Software Affected PGE72 v6.0.4
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra and Aqua Forward Processing and Terra and Aqua Reprocessing
Downstream Product Effects MOD44B (VCF) – processing transitioned to Centos-7 in March 2017. VCF is an annual product, to be made for 2017 in Jan 2018
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing 16-day global test with start day 2017081
Justification Too many missing tiles at random globally in the one year period could have significant impact on the quality of the annual land cover product.
