Project
Quality Quality indicators for MODIS snow data are represented by 'AutomaticQualityFlag' and 'ScienceQualityFlag' metadata objects, and their corresponding explanations ('AutomaticQualityFlagExplanation' and 'ScienceQualityFlagExplanation') in the CoreMetadata.0 global attribute; and also in the 'Ice Surface Temperature SpatialQA' and 'Sea Ice by Reflectance SpatialQA' data fields. These are generated during production or in post-product scientific and quality checks of the data product.
