All variables comprise 6 values corresponding to different data cluster
CLUSTER_TIMES = time of data clusters
NT_hvps_ENCORE= ENCORE-retrieved total ice number concentration (consistent with hvps size bins)
NT_RYZK = emprically-derived total ice number concentration from Murphy et al. (2020)
IWC_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved total ice water content
IWC_RYZK = emprically-derived total ice water content from Murphy et al. (2020)
DM_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved mean effective diameter using maximum particle dimension as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_RYZK = emprically-derived mean effective diameter using equivalent volume diameter as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_MELT_RYZK = emprically-derived mean effective diameter using equivalent melted diameter as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_A_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved mean effective diameter for snow aggregates, using maximum particle dimension as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_P_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved mean effective diameter for pristine ice, using maximum particle dimension as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_A_MELTED_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved mean effective diameter for snow aggregates, using equivalent melted diameter as the size descriptor (mm)
DM_P_MELTED_ENCORE = ENCORE-retrieved mean effective diameter for pristine ice, using equivalent melted diameter as the size descriptor (mm)
