Different reference pressures?

Hi,

I notice that the CAM physics uses 1000.00mb for some reference pressures (in cloud_fraction.F90, mcshallow.F90, radiation.F90 and stratiform.F90) while it uses 1013.25 mb (=1 atm) for others (radae.F90, radsw.F90, wetdep.F90, sulchem.F90, gffgch.F90).

Is there a physical reason for using one or the other in those routines or should they all be the same?

Rob
