| Abstract | PGE23 v6.0.31. Removed 3 datasets from MCD43A4: Mandatory_Band_Quality_Band_vis/nir/short wave |
| Problem Statement | MCD43A4 contains three additional band QA datasets (for vis, nir and shortwave) that aren't expected. Seven band QAs are expected in the file corresponding the seven land bands (band 1 - 7) for which NBAR is reported in the product file. Product from the operational version 6.0.29 contains 10 QA datasets. |
| Description of Change | Changes to PGE23 to remove the three unwanted additional QA datasets. |
| Products Affected | MCD43A4 |
| Software Affected | PGE23 v6.0.31 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | Terra Reprocessing, Aqua Reprocessing |
| Downstream Product Effects | None. |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Process 4 global data days starting with the data day 2008201 generating the BRDF-Albedo product for all land tiles with and without the code change.2010-059 |
| Justification | No change or improvement to any of the product suite except for reduced file size from removal of the three unwanted QA datasets in MCD43A4. No reprocessing is required. . |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Completed. |
| Status | Major algorithm development completed. Sadashiva Devadiga approved on 01/07/2016. Michael King approved on 01/21/2016. |
