PGH/CSPHOT/M1 - Instrument in manual mode
DataStreams:pghcsphotppM1.a1, pghcsphotalm1duboM1.a1, pghcsphotaotfiltqaM1.a1, pghcsphotalmM1.a1,

Description:
A problem with the wet sensor disrupted the automatic data collection mode for the 
instrument from 8/8-9/28.  During this time, the instrument was occasionally run in manual mode. 
During manual runs, some data, including almucantar and principle planes were collected 
and are available for use.  However, there are large gaps in the AOT data.
Suggestions: 
Use NIMFR or MFRSR data
