Workspace Method psdModifiedGammaMassSingleMoment

Description

Modified gamma distribution PSD, with mass content as input.

The intercept parameter N0 is assumed dependent on the slope parameter
lambda, such that N0=N_alpha*lambda^n_b with fixed N_alpha and n_b.
This is a common form for many PSD parametrizations for use with
single-moment mass-based schemes.

This version of MGD PSD takes mass content as first input argument.
This means that the first column of pnd_agenda_input shall hold
mass content data. The dependent parameter is assumed to be lambda.
