Workspace Method particle_massesFromMetaDataAndPart_species

Description

Derives particle_masses from scat_meta_array.

This method is supposed to be used to derive particle_masses
when pnd_field is internally calculated using pnd_fieldSetup
(in contrast to reading it from external sources using
ParticleTypeAdd and pnd_fieldCalc).
It extracts particle the mass information (density*volume) from
scat_meta_array. Different entries in part_species are
taken as different categories of particle_masses, i.e., the
resulting particle_masses matrix will contain as many columns as
entries exist in part_species.
