reference_mole_fraction_of_methane_in_air mol mol-1 [MPMX]
This methane field acts as a reference methane field in a diagnostic call to the radiation scheme. "Mole fraction" is used in the construction "mole_fraction_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. The chemical formula for methane is CH4. Methane is a member of the group of hydrocarbons known as alkanes. There are standard names for the alkane group as well as for some of the individual species.
