Dear Bruno, We already have the following standard names: effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particle_at_liquid_water_cloud_top effective_radius_of_convective_cloud_liquid_water_particle effective_radius_of_stratiform_cloud_liquid_water_particle.
For a generic cloud particle that does not need convective or stratiform to be specified I think we would need a new standard name of effective_radius_of_cloud_liquid_water_particle with SI units of m. 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.
