[CF-metadata] question concerning a CF metafile data name

Hello,
   My name is Thomas Greathouse. I'm a planetary astronomer working at the Southwest Research
Institute in San Antonio. I have a question about the definition for spectral radiance.
The name "isotropic_longwave_radiance_in_air" implies that the spectral wavelengths are those as
measured in air. Is this true? I'm working on a radiative code to add to the EPIC model for
the outer planets and I usually work in cm^-1 using spectral wavelengths that are correct for
a vacuum.
 
Thanks for any clarification on this and any advice.
 
Cheers,
Tommy
