log-normal distribution

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.L03614
A distribution function \(F(y)\), in which the logarithm of a quantity is normally distributed, i.e. \(F(y)=f_{\text{gauss}}(\ln y)\) where \(f_{\text{gauss}}(x)\) is a Gaussian distribution. The size distributions of atmospheric aerosols are often described using this distribution function, although the term also applies to gaseous pollutants.
