Analysis of MODIS Aqua and Terra snow cover fraction (SCF) observations showed many "bad" (high) observations were passing existing QC using observation QC flags, even when using the most conservative settings.
Following existing templates for model-based QC we have added a subroutine to replace predicted
asnowobservations with a missing value when temperature of soil layer 1 exceeds a hardwired threshold.After some sensitivity testing this threshold is currently set to 10 degrees C.
