Dear Tommy The phrase in_air was included to make clear that this quantity was one measured in air rather than in some other medium, especially sea water. We have some radiance standard_names with in_sea_water (though not longwave).
I agree with Alison that to specify the range of wavelengths to which the radiance applied one would use a coordinate variable or scalar coordinate variable of radiation_wavelength, and the most obvious interpretation would be that this is the wavelength in air. However if you want to be more precise we could define standard names of radiation_wavelength_in_air and radiation_wavelength_in_vacuum.
