Initializes the scattering species related data variables.

This method initializes the scat_species WSV, the variables that will hold the raw optical properties and the raw particle number distributions of the scattering elements (scat_data_raw and pnd_field_raw, respectively) as well as the one holding the meta information about the scattering elements (scat_meta).

This method has to be executed before WSM reading/adding to the said variable, e.g. before ScatSpeciesPndAndScatAdd().

• scat_meta (ArrayOfArrayOfScatteringMetaData, optional) – An Array of scattering meta data (scat_meta_single). See scat_meta, defaults to self.scat_meta [OUT]

• scat_data_checked (Index, optional) – OK-flag for scat_data. See scat_data_checked, defaults to self.scat_data_checked [OUT]

• pnd_field_raw (ArrayOfGriddedField3, optional) – The particle number density field raw data. See pnd_field_raw, defaults to self.pnd_field_raw [OUT]

• verbosity (Verbosity) – ARTS verbosity. See verbosity, defaults to self.verbosity [IN]
