scat_species

property Workspace.scat_species

Array of Strings defining the scattering species to consider.

Each String contains the information to connect scattering species (e.g., hydrometeor) atmospheric fields with the microphysical information like size and shape distributions. The strings follow the following structure with individual elements separated by dashes:

• scattering species name [String] the name of the scattering species’ atmospheric field. Free form, but is matched to atm_fields_compact fields by their names. Common are, e.g., IWC (ice water content), LWC (liquid water content), RR (rain rate), and SR (snow rate).

• particle size distribution [String]: the size distribution function/parametrization to apply. For currently possible PSDs see pnd_fieldCalcFromParticleBulkProps().

Example: [‘’IWC-MH97’’, ‘’LWC-H98_STCO’’, …]

Default value
