Abstract | PGE150 V6.1.4, PGE151 6.1.3, PGE41 6.1.1, PGE42 6.1.1 Updates to PGE150: Updates to PGE151: Updates to PGE41: Updates to PGE42: |
Problem Statement | Some of the landcover downstream PGEs needed to be updated to correct some of the landcover legends and class values, the principal one being the UMD landcover type (Type 2). |
Description of Change | The C61 Landcover downstream PGEs 150, 151, 41 and 42 were updated to correct the legend values and actual data ranges in the final MCD12Q1 and MCD12C1 data products. The changes were also made to make these final product legends more compatible with the C61 User?s Guide. |
Products Affected | Daily C61 L3 Tiled and CMG Landcover/Phenology products, MCD12Q1/MCD12C1. |
Software Affected | PGE150 V6.1.4, PGE151 V6.1.3, PGE41 V6.1.1, PGE42 6.1.1 |
Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra and Aqua Forward Processing. Terra and Aqua Reprocessing. |
Downstream Product Effects | None |
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | A science test was conducted in AS 1890 and the outputs from this test were fully assessed and approved by LDOPE. Still pending final science team approval. |
Justification | Accurate description of dataset attributes in the data product in hdf format is essential for the product to be self descriptive and usable by users without having to cross reference other document sources. Some of the legend entries from the initial round of C61 landcover processing were found to be wrong and incompatible with the product user guide. LDOPE confirmed these and made suitable changes in the relevant PGEs to update al the intermediate and final products for the MCD12Q1 and MCD12C1. |
Effective Date for Implementation of Change | The updated PGE150, 151, 41and 42 have been used to re-initiate these processing as part of AS 1890 and AS 61 on Ops5, since 05/27/22. |
Status | Major algorithm development completed. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 06/29/2022. Sudipta Sarkar approved on 06/29/2022. |
