Workspace Variable scat_data_meta_array

An Array of ScatteringMetaData.

The elements of the array hold the scattering meta data for a single particle.
This data is needed for particle size distribution calculations, with pnd_fieldSetup.

Currently some of the meta data entries are not used by ARTS, but were included for 
future extensions of pnd calculations in ARTS.
This applies to: "shape", "A_proje", "asratio"

Note: This array must contain as many elements as scat_data_raw

Usage: Set by the user.

Dimensions/Units: Array[particle types]

	String[shape]		[''Droxtal'', ''Aggregate'', ''Spherical'', ...]
	Numeric[density]	[kg/m3]
	Numeric[d_max]		[m]
	Numeric[V]		[m3]
	Numeric[A_proje]	[m2]
	Numeric[asratio]	[]
