particle_massesFromMetaDataSingleCategory

Workspace.particle_massesFromMetaDataSingleCategory(self: pyarts.arts._Workspace, particle_masses: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Matrix | None = self.particle_masses, scat_meta: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.ArrayOfArrayOfScatteringMetaData | None = self.scat_meta, verbosity: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Verbosity | None = self.verbosity) None

Sets particle_masses based on scat_meta assuming all particles are of the same mass category.

This method derives the particle masses from the mass entry of each scattering element. It is assumed that all scattering elements represent particles of the same (bulk) matter (e.g. water or ice). With other words, a single mass category is assumed (see particle_masses for a definition of “mass category”).

If just having clouds, the resulting mass category can be seen as the total cloud water content, with possible contribution from both ice and liquid phase.
