pnd_field

property Workspace.pnd_field

Particle number density field.

This variable holds the particle number density fields for all scattering elements being read in the WSMs ScatElementsPndAndScatAdd() or ScatSpeciesPndAndScatAdd() and interpolated to the calculation grids p_grid, lat_grid, and lon_grid inside the cloudbox. An alternative method to create pnd_field is pnd_fieldCalcFromParticleBulkProps().

Total number and order of scattering elements in pnd_field and (the flattened) scat_data has to be identical.

Note: To ensure that no particles exist outside the cloudbox, pnd_field is required to be 0 at its outer limits (corresponding to the cloudbox_limits).

Usage: Set by user or output of pnd_fieldCalcFromParticleBulkProps()

Unit: m^-3

Size:

[number of scattering elements, ( cloudbox_limits [1] - cloudbox_limits [0]) +1, ( cloudbox_limits [3] - cloudbox_limits [2]) +1, ( cloudbox_limits [5] - cloudbox_limits [4]) +1 ]
