Workspace Method dN_MGD_IWC
Description
Calculation of particle size distribution (dN/dD) according
to the modified gamma distribution for cloud ice
inside of Geer and Baordo (2014)
A wrapper to internal particle size distribution calculation.
MDG_IWC is a parametrization for cloud ice. It is a
modified gamma distribution with the coefficients of Geer and Baordo (2014)
Parametrization is in liquid water content (IWC)
Assumptions are: density of particles is constant and particle shape is sphere.
Provides number density normalized to the given ice water content.
