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