Description 2015-01-13T00:00:00Z
The MODIS Atmosphere Team algorithm developers have released Terra Collection 6 (C6) reprocessing and forward processing product streams. New C6 Level-2 products include aeros ol (MOD04_L2, MOD04_3K), cloud (MOD06_L2), column water vapor (MOD05_L2), and joint (MODATML2) sub-sampled products. Additionally, global browse and Level-3 Terra C6 products have been released. MODIS/Terra C6 algorithms parallel the numerous improvements and data set changes that were reported previously for MODIS/Aqua C6. A complete description of algorithm changes and product details can be found in documents available at http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nas a.gov/products_C006update.html. Global L2 browse imagery for many of the key Collection 5 (C5) and C6 atmospheric team datasets are available at http://modis-atmos.gsfc.nasa.gov/IMAGES/index.html.
Notes:
  • The Atmosphere Team Terra C6 L2 cloud mask (MOD35_L2) and atmospheric profile products (MOD07_L2) have also been reprocessed to replace their original 2012 versions in ord er to incorporate Band 5 radiance calibration updates.
  • Atmosphere Team Level-3 (L3) daily products include a small update for Terra to add several new parameter histograms in the daily (MOD08_D3) file. In all other ways, the Terra and Aqua L3 aggregation algorithms are identical.
Aqua MYD00S was initially delivered with substantially missing data between 2020-02-09 15:50-16:45z (Day granules) and used in production. This period has been reprocessed now with redelivered MYD00S containing the missing data: the reprocessed MYD00F L0 files have normal size.
