The top and bottom boundaries for up to five cloud layers below
the ER2 are given. The boundary search algorithm uses average
CLS profiles whose time interval can be determined by the spacing
of the time(independent variable) attached to each observation set.
If an observation has valid results for n layers, the bottom
of the nth layer is ambiguous with signal extinction unless
a valid ground signal(elevation of the earth's surface) is given.
