Dear Alison,
I think we agree.
Concerning the "in_air" at the end of the name, you have a broader
view than mine on the ensemble of standard names, and I see no reason
not to follow your advice.
Regards,
Bruno.

I think we have not bothered to add 'in_air' in the past because there is not really any ambiguity that clouds are an atmospheric feature.
