The legacy zeroth bin for size distributions has finally been dropped from the netCDF files. This will work with files of either format. The new format takes affect starting with files produced after January 2021 (SPICULE project and forward).
For people generating their own netCDF files. The size distribution variable (e.g. CCDP or C2DC), must have a netCDF attribute:
CCDP_LWOO:CellSizeNote = "CellSizes are lower bin limits as particle " ;
Older files will not have this attribute or will be listed as "...upper bin limites...".
