| Initiator | Jim Ray |
| Abstract | PGE11 v5.3.36 successfully handles the noisy detector in 500m resolution band 5 of Terra MODIS. |
| Problem Statement | Averaging of observations from noisy detector in Terra 500 m band 5 to 1 km resolution causes striping in the product. |
| Description of Change | Added an algorithm for filling in the noisy detector with data from adjacent detectors (at 500m). |
| Products Affected | MOD09 |
| Software Affected | PGE11 v5.3.36 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Forward, Aqua Reprocessing, NRT |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Run 1-day global test for data day 2013-163.2010-059 |
| Justification | Band 5 is used in detection of snow within the PGE11 and without this change the snow flag could be adversely affected. |
| 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 06/20/2013. Michael King approved on 6/20/2013. |
