Workspace Method pndFromdN

Description

Calculates pnds from given dN.

The method mimics what happens inside pnd_fieldSetup, but for a
single size distribution. It is supposed to be used with the *dN*
methods.

Synopsis

pndFromdN( pnd, dN, diameter, total_content, scatelem_volume, scatelem_density )

Variables

GOUTpnd(Vector)The pnd vector (pnd as function of particle size)
GINdN(Vector)Size distribution number density
GINdiameter(Vector)Size of the particles (the same as used in deriving dNdD
GINtotal_content(Numeric)Material content that should be contained in thedistribution. E.g., Mass density, mass flux, total numberdensity. If dNdD was derived from a content-dependent PSD,then this value should correspond to the one used there.
GINscatelem_volume(Vector)Volume of each particle (scattering element).
GINscatelem_density(Vector)Density of each particle (scattering element).
