Workspace Method ScatElementsSelect

Description

Allows to limit considered scattering elements according to size.

Scattering elements of a specified scattering species are removed
from scat_data_raw and scat_meta, i.e. removed from further
calculations, if their particle size exceeds the specified limits.
Specification of the scattering species is done by name matching the
scattering species name part of scat_species tag.
As size parameter, all size parameters reported by the meta data
can be used (see scat_meta_single for offered parameters and
their naming).

Variables

OUT+IN	scat_data_raw	(ArrayOfArrayOfSingleScatteringData)	Array of raw single scattering data.
OUT+IN	scat_meta	(ArrayOfArrayOfScatteringMetaData)	An Array of scattering meta data (scat_meta_single).
IN	scat_species	(ArrayOfString)	Array of Strings defining the scattering species to consider.
GIN	species	(String)	Species on which to apply size selection.
GIN	sizeparam	(String)	Size parameter to apply for size selection.
GIN	sizemin	(Numeric, Default: 0.)	Minimum size [m] of the scattering elements to consider
GIN	sizemax	(Numeric, Default: -1.)	Maximum size [m] of the scattering elements to consider (if negative, no max. limitation is applied).
