| Initiator | Bill Ridgway |
| Abstract | To document the implemented science and structural changes made in Aqua PGE03 v6.0.21. |
| Problem Statement | Updates for Collection 6 to Aqua PGE03 v6.0.21 implement numerous science changes described in the attached documents “MODIS_C6_Changes_CloudMask” and “MODIS_C6_Changes_AtmProfiles.” Additional structural changes were necessary to accommodate the UW LEOCAT processing elements. |
| Description of Change | Aqua PGE03 v6.0.21 includes science changes, LEOCAT elements shared with PGE06, cloud mask threshold changes to accommodate PGE02 calibration changes, new L1B Destriper coefficients. |
| Products Affected | MYD35_L2, MYD07_L2, MYD06_L2 (If PGE06 is run). |
| Software Affected | PGE03 v6.0.21 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | Most downstream Atmosphere L2 and L3 products and some Land products will be affected. Some of the testing is ongoing. Changes to thresholds and thermal tests particularly impact aerosol products. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | |
| Justification | |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Feb 1, 2012 for Aqua reprocessing. Forward C6 processing after completion of reprocessing. |
| Status | Steve Platnick approved for Atmospheres, Sadashiva Devadiga approved for Land, Michael King approved on 06/07/2012. |
