| Abstract | To document the thermal data bug fix and changes for ommission errors in forest and agrigultural areas in PGE86 v51.0.0. |
| Problem Statement | 1) bug in the handling of thermal data, 2) omission errors in forested areas, 3) omission errors in agricultural areas |
| Description of Change | 1) bug fixed, 2) band 6 inversion inhibited, after verification that the areas with omission did not show a significant change in band 6 post-fire, 3) introduction of additional spectral tests to avoid commission errors |
| Products Affected | MCD451, MCD45A2 |
| Software Affected | PGE86 v51.0.0, Process: MOD_PR45A1 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Generate 3 months of global data from year 2005 (Aug, Sept and Oct). Test run at MODAPS and test result evaluated by the Science Team and LDOPE.2010-059 |
| Justification | Quality assessment of an extensive test dataset (3 months globally) and comparison with reference data showed improvement of the results, with reduced omission errors |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Completed. |
| Status | Science test completed; results evaluated by the Science Team at SCF and LDOPE. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 07/12/2012. Michael King approved on 07/12/2012. |
