THE GOAL OF THIS WORK IS TO MONITOR MAINTAIN VALIDATE AND REFINE FOUR TERRA AND AQUA MODIS ALGORITHMS: CLOUD MASK (MOD35/MYD35) AND ASSOCIATED CLEAR SKY COMPOSITE MAPS ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES (MOD07/MYD07) CLOUD TOP PROPERTIES INCLUDING CLOUD-TOP PRESSURE TEMPERATURE AND PHASE (PART OF MOD06/MYD06). THIS REQUIRES (A) MONITORING CHANGES IN CALIBRATION AND ADJUSTING CLOUD DETECTION THRESHOLDS THAT ARE AFFECTED (B) TESTING REPLACEMENT CHANNELS WHEN PRIMARY CHANNELS EXHIBIT CALIBRATION PROBLEMS AND (C) CONDUCTING LIMITED VALIDATION THROUGH COMPARISONS WITH PRODUCTS FROM OTHER SATELLITE BASED ALGORITHMS. THE ASSOCIATED ACTIVITIES ARE CATEGORIZED BELOW; THESE ARE ESSENTIAL BASELINE EFFORTS NEEDED TO MONITOR AND HELP MAINTAIN CURRENT PROCESSING DATA RECORD CONTINUITY AND PROVIDE PRODUCT SCIENCE INFORMATION FOR THE USER COMMUNITY.
