C5 data products are produced using the latest available versions of the
science algorithms
developed by the MODIS Land Science Team incorporating changes to fix known
problems in the
C4 version of the product and proposed C5 science improvements to the
products. The
C5 version of the product format may have changed from the C4 version. The
quality of
the C5 product both at the pixel level and the granule level may differ from
the C4 version.
