Workspace Method dN_MP48

Description

Calculation of particle size distribution (dN/dD) following
Marshall and Palmer (1948) parametrization.

A wrapper to internal particle size distribution calculation.
Marshall and Palmer (1948) is a parametrization for liquid and ice
precipitation, i.e., rain and snow. Parametrization is in
precipitation rate (PR) over particle size in terms of mass
equivalent sphere diameter. Provides number density normalized to
the given precipitation rate.

For testing purposes mainly.
