| Abstract | Fix for incorrect labeling of snow/ice covered lake as land. |
| Problem Statement | Snow/ice covered lakes in the MOD10A2 product are erroneously mapped as land. This problem exists in the V004 and V005 code and is caused by a variable name error in the code. |
| Description of Change | Correct the variable name in one line of code in MOD_PR10A2.ProcessDailySnowDay.c. |
| Products Affected | L3 8-day Snow Cover (MOD10A2) |
| Software Affected | PGE45 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward |
| Downstream Product Effects | The MOD10A2 correction will be propagated to MOD10C2. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | h11v03, h11v04, h12v03, h12v04 days 2000-052 - 2000-145. |
| Justification | Correction will result in proper mapping of snow/ice covered lakes and inland waterbodies thus improved ability to track lake ice breakup timing and conditions. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Data day 2000-049 for C5 Terra Reprocessing. Data day 2007-001 for C5 Terra and Aqua Forward Processing. |
| Status | PI approved. Sadashiva Devadiga approved for Land, Vincent Salomonsom approved on 08/30/06. |
