Workspace Method dN_Ar_H13

Description

Calculation of particle size and shape distribution (dN/dD, area
ratio) following Heymsfield (2013).

A wrapper to internal particle size and shape distribution
calculation. Heymsfield (2013) is a globally valid parametrization
for cloud ice. The parametrization is in ambient atmospheric
temperature over particle size in terms of maximum dimension. It
provides the shape of the distribution function of both number
density and area ratio.

For testing purposes mainly.
