Dear Jonathan, I agree that we suggest to change the postfix _in_atmosphere to the prefix atmosphere_, as this is already implemented for names apart from the moles_of_X.
Accordingly the guidelines should be changed: Could we distinguish between "local medium" and "large-scale medium"? All existing in_something phrases would be local and there position would be postfix. The prefixes atmophere_, ocean_, troposphere_ would be large-scale media. For dissolved species I suggest the postfix "local medium" in_cloud_water or in_cloud_ice. (You are right, this refers to the concentration in the availabe water, not to the cloud's grid box fraction.)
