| Abstract | Introduction of four Deep Blue Aerosol parameters into L3 Aqua Atmosphereproducts. |
| Problem Statement | The Aerosol Group added Deep Blue Aerosol parameters to their L2 product.They asked for these new parameters to be propagated into the AtmospheresL3 products. |
| Description of Change | The following L3 file specification and HDF template file changes were made: Added Deep Blue Aerosol parameters derived from the Aerosol (MYD04_L2) product. The parameters added are: - Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_Land - Deep_Blue_Aerosol_Optical_Depth_550_Land - Deep_Blue_Angstrom_Exponent_Land - Deep_Blue_Single_Scattering_Albedo_Land A number of statistical SDS's were added for each parameter noted above. |
| Products Affected | All L3 Atmosphere Products |
| Software Affected | PGE69, PGE56, PGE70, PGE57 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | The L3 codes were tested using the standard Atmosphere Aqua 16-day data setcovering all months and seasons of the year. |
| Justification | This change was driven by a request from the L2 Aerosol Group. It is intended to provided improved aerosol data over deserts and other bright terrain where only poor quality data were available. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Start of C5 Aqua Reprocessing. |
