NEW IN v6.0.2 implemented by LDOPE -- Input and output file resolutions changed from 1KM to 500M -- Output ESDT changed from MOD17A2 to MOD17A2H !!! NEW IN v.5.1.3 -- Correct MOD17A2 filename of LOCALGRANULEID in metadata caused by the bad side effect from the correction of NDAYS_COMPOSITED problem last time Modules influenced: ecsmeta.c psn_defs.h !!! NEW IN v.5.1.2 -- Correct NDAYS_COMPOSITED problem for abstract one extra day and control the maximum days of year, 365 or 366 Modules influenced: psn_pars.c psn_emd.c psn_defs.h !!! NEW IN v.5.1.0 -- modified annual NPP (MOD17A3) equation by altering algorithm for growth respiration (Rg). The previous Rg dependent on annual maximum LAI is unreasonable, because maximum LAI is strongly related to biomass, a state variable, but Rg is a flux variable, and it is part of remainder of GPP subtracted by maintenance respiration (Rm). Currently, Rg is assumed to account for 25% of NPP, in other words, NPP = 0.8*(GPP - Rm) -- modified constant q10_mr with value of 2.0 to q10_mr = 3.22 - 0.046*tavg the above equation is based on the review work by Tjoelker et al. in 2001 Citation: Tjoelker M. G., J. Oleksyn and P. Reich, 2001, Modelling respiration of vegetation: evidence for a general temperature-dependent Q10. Global Change Biology, 7: 223-230. -- update BPLUT again based on the recent MODIS GPP validation works from Bigfoot project and that in our lab. We increased light use efficiency for most forest biomes, and reduced that for most xeric biomes. We also made little changes to other parameters to keep up with all the above changes The changes will affect MOD17A1, A2 and A3. The change will improve the quality of MOD17. Modules influenced: psn_defs.h psn_calc.c !!! NEW IN v.5.0.2 -- incorporate GMAO (previous DAO) smoothing in the source code. Detailes are at Zhao M., F. A. Heinsch, R. R. Nemani, and S. W. Running, 2005, Improvements of the MODIS terrestrial gross and net primary production global data set. Remote Sensing of Environment, 95:164-176. The change will affect MOD17A1, A2 and A3, and will eliminate the big DAO footprint on MOD17 images. In the end, the change will improve the quality of MOD17 Modules influenced: psn_defs.h psn_prot.h psn_clim_adt.c psn_clim.c psn_clos.c psn_grid.c psn_xlate.c !!! NEW IN v.5.0.1 -- new QA bit layout to reflect the upstream changes in MOD15 0,0 MODLAND_QC bits '0' = Good Quality '1' = Other Quality 1,1 SENSOR '0' = Terra '1' = Aqua 2,2 DEADDETECTOR '0' = Detectors apparently fine for up to 50% of channels 1,2 '1' = Dead detectors caused >50% adjacent detector retrieval 3,4 CLOUDSTATE (this inherited from Aggregate_QC bits {0,1} cloud state) '00' = 0 Significant clouds NOT present (clear) '01' = 1 Significant clouds WERE present '10' = 2 Mixed cloud present on pixel '11' = 3 Cloud state not defined,assumed clear 5,7 SCF_QC (3-bit, (range '000'..100') 5 level Confidence Quality score. '000' = 0, Very best possible '001' = 1, Good,very usable, but not the best '010' = 2, Substandard due to geometry problems - use with caution '011' = 3, Substandard due to other than geometry problems - use with caution '100' = 4, Couldn't retrieve pixel (NOT PRODUCED AT ALL - non-terrestrial biome) '111' = 7, Fill Value !!! NEW IN V.4.2.0 --A new BPLUT is applied as of this version. --the range of the PsnNet_1km variable (digital representation) has been adjusted to{-30000 to 30,000} !!! NEW IN v4.1.0 !!! New in version 4.1.0: Added a new SDS that contains the PSN values as (GPP - maintenance respiration). The field is named PsnNet The MOD_PR17A2 (PGE 37) is the MODIS AM-1 Level 4 500M 8-day archived Photosyntheis data product. The PGE 36 daily algorithm updates the cumulative (intermediate) tiled product, adding the current data day's PSN measure to each pixel in the tile. At the conclusion of each 8-day period (indicated via a PGE 37 production rule), the PSN algorithm takes the PSN values accumulated over the 8-day period, and simply writes these (tiles) out as the official archived "8-day composite" GPP and PSN products, MODIS Parameter 3716. Note that the same temporal accumulation scheme is used to produce the annual Net Primary Productivity (NPP) product, where a total of (45) 8-day PSN products (stored in the intermediate gridfield Gpp_Rm_500M) are incrementally summed over the course of a given year, to eventually be output at the end of each year as the archived NPP annual product MODIS Parameter 2703). The definitions of the following MOD_PR17A2 specific (PSA) PRODUCT SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES are defined in the ArchiveMetadata.0 block as ADDITIONALATRIBUTENAME{7..8}. These are represented using the ECS "INTEGER" data type, with percent values ranging {0..100} : PSA Name Definition --------------------------------------------------------------------- N_DAYS_COMPOSITED Number of days {1..8} contributing to final composite. This is fixed at (1) for MOD_PR17A1 (PGE 36), but should range from {1..8} for MOD_PR17 (PGE 37). QAPERCENTGOODPSN Tile-wise % of good or excellant quality PSN (or NPP) pixels. Versioning: We currently version-stamp our source code, ancillary files and product files with an identical version and release-timedate stamp, called UM_VERSION. Users may extract this version stamp from any product or ancillary file using a command like this: ncdump -h MOD15A2_ANC_RI4.HDF | grep UM_VERSION. The latest certified codeset carries this version stamp as a global file attribute in the product files, ancillary files, and within the executable: UM_VERSION = UM_VERSION = "U.MONTANA MODIS PGE36 Vers 5.0.1 Rev 10 Release 02.16.2004 23:59" Point of Contact: Petr Votava votava@ltpmail.gsfc.nasa.gov Principal Investigator(s): Steven W.
