Description
The Field [2019] particle size distribution for hail.
Reference: Field, Normalized hail particle size distributions from the T-28
storm-penetrating aircraft, JAMC, 2019
This is a 1-parmater PSD i.e. pnd_agenda_input shall have one column and
pnd_agenda_input_names shall contain a single string.
The input data in pnd_agenda_input shall be hail mass content in
unit of [kg/m3]. The naming used is pnd_agenda_input_names is free
but the same name must be used in particle_bulkprop_names and
dpnd_data_dx_names.
The parameters assume a constant effective density, i.e. scat_species_b pprox 3
Derivatives are obtained analytically.
The validity range of mass content is not limited. Negative mass
contents will produce negative psd values following a distribution
given by abs(HWC), ie. abs(psd)=f(abs(HWC)).
If temperature is outside [*t_min*,*t_max*] psd=0 and dpsd=0 if
picky=0, or an error is thrown if picky=1.
