Description

Currently in SCREAM the effective radius units are in microns to match what is asked for by radiation, so there is some post-processing in P3 to take the P3 output which is in `m` and scale it to `microns`. According to the CF convention, the units should actually be in `m` and we should therefore scale the quantity to microns within the radiation interface.

This task has 3 bullets

- [ ] Update the units for registration of the effective radius in both P3 and RRTGMP interfaces to `m`.
- [ ] Remove the post-processing in P3.
- [ ] Create the pre-processing in RRTGMP
