NOTICE: August 19, 2014 -- Upcoming changes to ESPA output file names and metadata
By the end of August, the "fmask" band's file name suffix will permanently change to "cfmask" to accurately reflect the algorithm used in ESPA.
Example: Cloud mask for scene LE70390372008210EDC00 will be named "LE70390372008210EDC00_cfmask" instead of "LE70390372008210EDC00_fmask".
Please update any programs or scripts you may be using to reflect this change.
Changes to the cloud mask metadata will also be made:
1. The "name" will be "cfmask" instead of "fmask"
2. The "short_name" will be "LXXCFMASK" instead of "LXXFMSK", where LXX is LT4, LT5 or LE7
3. The "long_name" will be "cfmask_band" instead of "fmask_band""
