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.
