Dear Jonathan,

I just had a short side-discussion with Eizi, and we settled on 'type', i.e. we propose the standard names:

high_type_cloud_area_fraction
middle_type_cloud_area_fraction
low_type_cloud_area_fraction


As explanatory text, the one of cloud_area_fraction is a good start, and then an addition like:

  high type clouds are: Cirrus, Cirrostratus, Cirrocumulus
  middle type clouds are: Altostratus, Altocumulus, Nimbostratus
  low type clouds are: Stratus, Stratocumulus, Cumulus, Cumulonimbus

Best regards,

Heiko

Dear Eizi and Heiko

I think this kind of idea is good
high_genera_cloud_area_fraction:
etc.

"type" or "genera" would both be OK, but "genera" is a plural so better English
would probably be "type" (or "genus").

Cheers

Jonathan
