| Abstract | PGE632 2.0.5 PGE632/Gridded GIBS code and LUTs were revised in support of NRT V*46A1 and V*46A2 products to produce Polar region GIBS images not previously generated. New products being generated included these ESDTs: V1Z46A1_NHN_DNBV1Z46A1_NHN_FCCV1Z46A1_SHN_DNBV1Z46A1_SHN_FCCVNZ46A1_NHN_DNBVNZ46A1_NHN_FCCVNZ46A1_SHN_DNBVNZ46A1_SHN_FCCVNZ46A2_NHN_ANLVNZ46A2_SHN_ANL |
| Problem Statement | VIIRS PGE632/Gridded GIBS, was revised to support generating GIBS images for VIIRS LBAN products for polar regions, which was not included in the original version. |
| Description of Change | PGE632/Gridded GIBS code and LUTs were revised in support of NRT V*46A1 and V*46A2 products to produce Polar region GIBS images not previously generated. New products being generated included these ESDTs: V1Z46A1_NHN_DNBV1Z46A1_NHN_FCCV1Z46A1_SHN_DNBV1Z46A1_SHN_FCCVNZ46A1_NHN_DNBVNZ46A1_NHN_FCCVNZ46A1_SHN_DNBVNZ46A1_SHN_FCCVNZ46A2_NHN_ANLVNZ46A2_SHN_ANL |
| Products Affected | NRT V*46A1 and V*46A2 products |
| Software Affected | PGE632 2.0.5 |
| Processing String to Receive the Change | S-NPP Forward Processing. J1 Forward Processing. NRT |
| Downstream Product Effects | No downstream datasets are impacted by this change |
| Data Granules to be Used for Science Testing | Science testing was conducted and datasets were reviewed by LDOPE and the GIBS team. |
| Justification | To generate additional GIBS products, those for polar regions, for the V*46A1 and V*46A2 NRT products. |
| Effective Date for Implementation of Change | Revised PGE632 2.0.5 was put into use for both SNPP and JPSS1, V*46A1 datasets, and SNPP VNP46A2 starting with data from 3/12/26. The JPSS1 VJ146A2 is not yet generated in nrt processing, but this GIBS PGE will be used for it once we begin to generate that dataset in NRT. |
