% ice_psd_Donovan_2003 returns the particle size distribution in cirrus clouds. % % Returns a vector with the particle size distribution for a % given temperature and ice water content, for a midlatitude cirrus cloud. % The uncertainty regarding the habits of the ice crystals is large. % The parameterization here is based on the distribution of % maximum dimension of complex polycrystals or compact % polycrystals which are consistent with the average observed % behaviour. % % The parameterization is taken from Donovan. % "Ice cloud effective particle size parameterization based % on combined lidar, radar reflectivity, and mean Doppler % velocity measurements" % J. of Geophys. res., vol. 108, NO.
