Workspace Method particle_massesFromMetaDataSingleCategory

Description

Sets particle_masses based on scat_meta_array assuming
all particles are of the same mass category.

This method calculates the particle masses as density*volume
for each particle type. Single phase particles, and that all
all particles consist of the same (bulk) matter (e.g. water
or ice) are assumed. With other words, a single mass category
is assumed (see particle_masses for a definition of "mass
category").

To be clear, the above are assumptions of the method, the user
is free to work with any particle type. For Earth and just having
cloud and particles, the resulting mass category can be seen as
the total cloud water content, with possible contribution from
both ice and liquid phase.
