| Abstract | PGE61 v51.0.4 (VCF) includes added code and models for the final two layers--bare ground and non-tree vegetation. |
| Problem Statement | C51 version of VCF - added two layers, percent_nontree_vegetation and percent_nonvegetated. |
| Description of Change | Code change to improve the accuracy of the product and to include additional parameters. |
| Products Affected | MOD44B |
| Software Affected | PGE61 v51.0.4Recipe: [AP]M1M_C51_L27mm/L27Tm 4.0.4 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Forward, Terra Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Test performed generating global data for year 2010.2010-059 |
| Justification | The bare ground and non-tree vegetation layers are promised deliverables. We have delivered and tested the algorithm and models for these two layers and feel they are ready for production. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Completed. |
| Status | Major algorithm development and testing completed. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 01/15/2014. Michael King approved on 01/17/2014. |
