Abstract PGE603 2.0.8

Revision to the FireMask outputs so that designator for JPSS1 and JPSS2 is more informative, going from "1" for J1 to "N20", and going from "2" for J2 to "N21". New version to be used in following recipes:
VJI_L1bnrtblu 2.0.50 PGE510 2.0.13 PGE600J1 2.0.5 PGE603 2.0.8
VJ2_L1bnrtglu 2.0.15 PGE510 2.0.13 PGE600J2 2.0.5 PGE603 2.0.8

Problem Statement Revision for PGE603/FireMask, so that in the text outputs, the designator for J1 is "N20" instead of "1", and the designator for J2 is "N21" instead of "2". Modification requested by FIRMS team, Louis Giglio and Diane Davies.

Downstream Product Effects All VIIRS land products
Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing A science test was conducted for suite of PGEs listed in section 8 above on nrt4 AS5200 with results reviewed by LDOPE and FIRMS teams. 2/29/24, the FIRMS team confirmed the new variation of outputs for J1 works as desired on their end.
Justification Request to make revision came directly from FIRMS team with support from Louis Giglio and Diane Davies
