| Initiator | Bill Ridgway |
| Abstract | PGE108 v6.0.3 provides improved high resolution daily browse of water vapor. |
| Problem Statement | The Atmosphere Level 3 products filter Near IR Water Vapor retrievals to include only higher quality bright-surface conditions. This results in retrievals over bright land and ocean sun glint regions only. We wish to do the same with the Near IR global mosaic images as well. |
| Description of Change | Added a filter to Near IR Water Vapor images as described above. Re-labeled Infrared Water Vapor as “Water Vapor.” |
| Products Affected | No current products are impacted. |
| Software Affected | PGE108 v6.0.3 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | There are no downstream products. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Run global test to demonstrate successful production of products. Samples are archived at http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/PGE_Test_Archive/PGE108.v6.0.3.2010-059 |
| Justification | Michael King requested the updates to make the Global Browse more consistent with the L3 products. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | ASAP |
| Status | Michael King approved on 12/20/2011. |
