placeParticles(massCell, indx, indy, csz, massPerPart, rng)

Create particles in given cell

Compute number of particles to create in a given cell. Place particles in cell according to the chosen pattern (random semirandom or ordered)

Parameters

• massCell (float) – mass of snow in cell

• indx (int) – column index of the cell

• indy (int) – row index of the cell

• csz (float) – cellsize

• massPerPart (float) – maximum mass per particle

Returns

• xpart (1D numpy array) – x position of particles

• ypart (1D numpy array) – y position of particles

• mPart (1D numpy array) – mass of particles

• nPart (int) – number of particles created
