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.
