       * UPDATE: In order for these size distributions to be comparable, we need to use the same definition of dimension. I suggest that we use maximum particle dimension so that we are all using the same definition (Note that there still may be some differences because there are different algorithms for defining maximum dimension).  Note also that the simulations have a constant PSD over the full minute, so it is probably easier to aggregate everything into a single distribution rather than breaking down by the second.  However, we can handle data submitted either way.
