HFE/MPL/M1 - Frosting/Condensation
DataStreams:hfemplpolM1.b1, hfemplpolavgM1.c1, hfemplpolavgM1.s1
Description:
On various days during the China deployment, condensation accumulated on the view port 
window of the MPL and compromised its capability to detect clouds.  This problem most often 
occurred during nighttime hours from May through early September.  

During the listed times, cloud retrievals and aerosol profiles should be considered 
doubtful or in error.
