The LISST manual specifies the bin mid-points of the size bins of the particular instrument (typically type B or C). However, for some applications it is necessary to know the upper and lower limit of the size bins as well. For type B and C LISSTs these lines in MATLAB will compute the lower limit, upper limit and the mid-point in a 32 x 6 matrix:
rho=200^(1/32);
bins(:,1) = 1.25*rho.^([0:31]); %lower limit for type B
bins(:,2) = 1.25*rho.^([1:32]); % upper limit for type B
bins(:,3) = sqrt(bins(:,1).*bins(:,2));%mid-point for type B
bins(:,4) = 2.5*rho.^([0:31]); %lower limit for type C
bins(:,5) = 2.5*rho.^([1:32]); % upper limit for type C
bins(:,6) = sqrt(bins(:,4).*bins(:,5));%mid-point for type C
bins(:,7) = 7.5*rho.^([0:31]); %lower limit for type FLOC
bins(:,8) = 7.5*rho.^([1:32]); %upper limit for type FLOC
bins(:,9) = sqrt(bins(:,7).*bins(:,8));%mid-point for type FLOC
rho=100^(1/32);
bins(:,10) = 5*rho.^([0:31]); %lower limit for type A
bins(:,11) = 5*rho.^([1:32]); % upper limit for type A
bins(:,12) = sqrt(bins(:,10).*bins(:,11));%mid-point for type A
rhoST=200^(1/8);
binST(:,1) = 1.25*rhoST.^([0:7]); %lower limit for LISST-ST type B
binST(:,2) = 1.25*rhoST.^([1:8]); %upper limit for LISST-ST type B
binST(:,3) = sqrt(binST(:,1).*binST(:,2));%mid-point for LISST-ST type B
binST(:,4) = 2.5*rhoST.^([0:7]); %lower limit for LISST-ST type C
binST(:,5) = 2.5*rhoST.^([1:8]); %upper limit for LISST-ST type C
binST(:,6) = sqrt(binST(:,4).*binST(:,5));%mid-point for LISST-ST type C
The tables below tabulate the values computed using the script above. NOTE: The table below is ONLY valid for inversions that have used the matrices based on scattering off of spherical particles. For inversions based on scattering from randomly shaped particles, use the table in this article.
