PCR Number PCR06-011
PGE Number PGE45
PGE Version 5.0.7
Affected Product L3 8-day Snow Cover (MOD10A2)
Short Description Fix for incorrect labeling of snow/ice covered lake as land during winter
Long Description Snow/ice covered lakes in the MOD10A2 product are erroneously mapped as land. This problem exists in the V004 and V005 code and is caused by a variable name error in the code. Fixing this resulted in proper mapping of snow/ice covered lakes and inland water bodies, and thus improved ability to track lake ice breakup timing and conditions. See the posted issue for additional detail.
Affected Products downstream None.
