Dear Jonathan,
Thanks for your comment. A complete list of the proposed standard names
is at the end of this email.

I see. Actually my idea is that X is the mass of cloud liquid water
per unit mass of air with the units of kg/kg - I hope this is all right.
In this case I assume that tendency_of_X has units of kg/kg/s or 1/s.
Best wishes,
Tomoo
