softEllipsoid(sizeCenter, aspectRatio, mass, minDensity=100, maxDensity=constants.rhoIce)

oblate (AspectRatio <1) or prolate (asectRatio >0) soft spheres

Parameters

• sizeCenter (array_like) – particle size at center of size bin

• minDensity (float) – minimal density (Default value = 100)

• maxDensity (float) – maximum density (Default value = constants.rhoIce)

Returns

density – density of hydrometeor

Return type

array_like
