Hoar frost effects on aerofoil efficiency

After a thread in Private Flying, I wondered if anyone had any pointers to any practical research on how and why a frost coated wing is reduced in efficiency. Especially the differences between a laminar flow wing and a more conventional design on a piston light aircraft.

Thanks...
