A CRID is a unique identifier to provide the provenance of the aggregate software and static input file versions listed in the generation of a product granule. The purpose of a CRID is to track exactly how a data product was created. It gives each product a unique identifier that ties it to the specific software versions and static input files used to make it, which allows users to trace a product back to the tools and files that produced it. The table below shows the sequential changes made to the processing system.
