Abstract PGE125 v6.1.1 -- New products added.

PGE132 v6.0.15 -- updated PGE*.pl to correct extra single quotation mark; updated LoaderModule to check for MaxProfile and run for PM1M files.

Will start to use the PGEs in GIBS C61 Atmosphere L2 reprocessing and forward processing and for C6 Land L3 reprocessing and forward processing.

Problem Statement This updates the PGE125 and PGE132 for Atmosphere L2 and Land L3 processing respectively. The update fixes an issue that was causing incorrect colors to show up in the browse images, because of incorrect setting of runtime stack parameter. With the fix the runtime stack parameter will be set to unlimited and will result in fixing of any possible color issue.
Description of Change Update GIBS PGE125 (V6.1.1) and PGE132 (V6.0.15) to set the stack size to unlimited and reprocess C61 atmosphere L2 and C6 Land L3 products respectively. The fixed PGEs will also be put in forward processing for C61 atmosphere L2 and C6 Land L3 respectively.
Products Affected MODIS C61 Atmosphere L2 and C6 Land L3 imagery products
Software Affected PGE125 v6.1.1; PGE132 v6.0.15
Processing String to Receive the Change Terra and Aqua Forward Processing, Terra and Aqua Reprocessing, NRT
Downstream Product Effects None
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing These have been tested through respective tests carried out for a period of 1 month respectively.Test of PGE132 6.0.15 shows that L3 polar images, like MxD29P1*, were not generated. Sadashiva decided to bypass the issue for now:

Per Sadashiva on Aug 31, 2018-- MxD29 is polar product. So 2 and 3 are identical. We are bypassing those issues for now and moving on with the rest of the land L3 products.
