Modification of VIIRS sensor data record operational code for consistency of data product limits

The Visible Infrared Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) sensor data record (SDR) product contains geolocated and calibrated radiances, quality flags, and derived products such as brightness temperature and reflectance. The active fire team reported an inconsistency in the way radiance limits and derived products limits are generated. The quality flags are also independently determined for radiance limits and derived product limits. This paper focuses on operational code modifications to address the inconsistent radiance and derived products and quality flag determination algorithm.
