Efficient approximation of the incomplete gamma function for use in cloud model applications

This paper describes an approximation to the lower incomplete gamma function γ<i><sub>l</sub>(a,x)</i> which has been obtained by nonlinear curve fitting. It comprises a fixed number of terms and yields moderate accuracy (the abso...
