Workspace Method dN_F07TR
Description
Calculation of particle size distribution (dN/dD) following
Field et al. (2007) for tropics parametrization.
A wrapper to internal particle size distribution calculation.
Field et al. (2007) for tropics is a parametrization for Snow
and cloud ice in the tropics. Parametrization is in ice water content (IWC)
and ambient atmospheric temperature over particle size in terms of
maximum diameter. Provides number density
normalized to the given snow/ice water content.
