titleGranule Specific Concepts
ElementUMM ModelDefinitionRequired?
Archive and Distribution Information for GranulesUMM-GThis element provides information about the files or file packages that make up the granule. No
Cloud CoverUMM-GThis element describes a percentage value indicating how much of the area of a granule (the EOSDIS data unit) has been obscured by clouds. It is worth noting that there are many different measures of cloud cover within the EOSDIS data holdings and that the cloud cover parameter that is represented in the archive is dataset-specific.No
Collection ReferenceUMM-GThis element describes the collection metadata record's short name and version, or entry title to which this granule metadata record belongs.Yes
Day Night FlagUMM-GThis element identifies whether a granule was collected during the day, at night (any time between sunset and sunrise), or both.No
GranuleURUMM-GThis element describes the Universal Reference ID of the granule referred by the data provider. This ID is unique per data provider.Yes
Grid Mapping NamesUMM-GRepresents the native grid mapping of the granule, if the granule is gridded.No
Identifiers UMM-GThis element holds various types of granule identifiers. Yes
Input Granules UMM-GThis element describes the identification of the input granule(s) for a specific granule.No
Measured Parameters UMM-GThis element describes the name of the geophysical parameter expressed in the data as well as associated quality flags and quality statistics. The quality statistics element contains measures of quality for the granule. The parameters used to set these measures are not preset and will be determined by the data producer. Each set of measures can occur many times either for the granule as a whole or for individual parameters. The quality flags contain the science, operational and automatic quality flags which indicate the overall quality assurance levels of specific parameter values within a granule.No
Metadata Specification UMM-GRequires the user to add in schema information into every granule record. It includes the schema's name, version, and URL location. The information is controlled through enumerations at the end of this schema.Yes
Native Projection Names UMM-GRepresents the native projection of the granule if the granule has a native projection.No

PGE Version Class

UMM-GThis element describes basic descriptive characteristics related to the Product Generation Executable associated with a granule.No
Production Date TimeUMM-GThis element provides the exact date and time a granule was produced using the following format: YYYYMMDDTHH:MM:SS (time is in UTC). Yes
Provider Dates UMM-GThis element describes the dates related to activities involving the the granule and the data provider database with the exception for Delete. For Create, Update, and Insert the date is the date that the granule file is created, updated, or inserted into the provider database by the provider. Delete is the date that the CMR should delete the granule metadata record from its repository.Yes

Reprocessing ActualUMM-GThis element provides what, if any, reprocessing has been performed on a granule. No
Reprocessing PlannedUMM-GThis element provides what, if any, reprocessing may be performed on a granule.No

Spatial Extent 

UMM-GThis element contains attributes which describe the horizontal (geographical) and/or vertical region over which the data was acquired. Spatial Extent includes any or all of Granule Localities, Horizontal Spatial Domain, and Vertical Spatial Domain.No
