Subject:
TWP/MPL/C1 - SP laser diode supply failed
DataStreams:twpmplC1.a1, twpmplC1.00, twpmplsmask1clothC1.c1, twpmplcmask1clothC1.c1
Description:
The Spectra Physics laser diode supply failed on March 2, 2004.  A replacement was 
installed April 18. 

Any data between these dates is worthless.
Suggestions: 
Measurements:twpmplcmask1clothC1.c1:
  • Range Heights (center of radar sample volume)(Heights)
  • Time offset from base_time(time_offset)
  • base time in epoch(base_time)
  • MPL Cloth et al. Algorithm Cloud Mask(CloudMaskMplCloth)
