Dear Maarten Thank you for your care with this.

(flag_meanings = "liquid ice mixed" ;) This is an unusual kind of quantity, a string-valued one with particular allowed values; region and area_type are similar. That can be stated in the definition. I understand that you'll probably encode it as integers using the flag_meanings attribute. Can we say what kind of particles these are? Presumably "cloud particle" would be a reasonable description. In that case, could it be thermodynamic_phase_of_cloud_particles_at_cloud_top ? > The first is indeed derived from visibile radiances while the second is > derived from infrared radiances only. OK. I would suggest appending defined_by_visible|infrared_radiance to make this distinction in the standard name.
