Dear Jonathan,
Two comments:

ratio > is not quite the same thing as a mass concentration:
> mass_mixing_ratio_of_ozone_in_air (1)
Yes, but "mass_fraction_of_ozone_in_air" exists and this is the same as
mass_mixing_ratio, so I think defining the name you suggest would
duplicate the variable.
> mass_fraction_of_convective_cloud_condensed_water_in_air
Does this include ice?
Best regards,
Christiane
