Dear Tomoo,
I think all the cloud feedback names are now agreed:
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_in_air
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_in_air_due_to
_cloud_microphysics
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_in_air_due_to
_boundary_layer_mixing
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_in_air_due_to
_bergeron_findeisen_process_to_cloud_ice
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_in_air
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_in_air_due_to_cloud_mi
crophysics
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_in_air_due_to_boundary
_layer_mixing
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_ice_in_air_due_to_bergeron
_findeisen_process_from_cloud_liquid
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_condensed_water_in_air
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_condensed_water_in_air_due
_to_cloud_microphysics
tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_condensed_water_in_air_due
_to_boundary_layer_mixing
The names are accepted for inclusion in the standard name table and will
be added at the next update.
Best wishes,
Alison
