plot Particle Size Distribution in Morrison scheme

[luis_met2021]

Hi everyone,

I would like to plot the Particle Size Distribution in Morrison 2005 scheme. I found the following variables in the code:

! SIZE PARAMETER VARIABLES
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: LAMC ! SLOPE PARAMETER FOR DROPLETS (M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: LAMI ! SLOPE PARAMETER FOR CLOUD ICE (M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: LAMS ! SLOPE PARAMETER FOR SNOW (M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: LAMR ! SLOPE PARAMETER FOR RAIN (M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: LAMG ! SLOPE PARAMETER FOR GRAUPEL (M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: CDIST1 ! PSD PARAMETER FOR DROPLETS
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: N0I ! INTERCEPT PARAMETER FOR CLOUD ICE (KG-1 M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: N0S ! INTERCEPT PARAMETER FOR SNOW (KG-1 M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: N0RR ! INTERCEPT PARAMETER FOR RAIN (KG-1 M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: N0G ! INTERCEPT PARAMETER FOR GRAUPEL (KG-1 M-1)
REAL, DIMENSION(KTS:KTE) :: PGAM ! SPECTRAL SHAPE PARAMETER FOR DROPLETS

Is there anyone know how to calculate the diameter from these variables?
By default, the number concentration output is at every grid point, but I don't have information on the size range.

Kind regards,
Lna

Lna,
I am sorry that we don't have a specific method to calculate particle size distribution. Please refer to the literature or talk to the scheme developer to find a solution.
