It looks repetitive, but it appears that this clarification is necessary since you also have (2) tendency_of_mass_fraction_of_stratiform_cloud_condensed_water_in_air_ _due_to_sedimentation_of_cloud_liquid_water Can "sedimentation" in this context only refer to cloud liquid water, or could the same word be applied to cloud ice as well? (Please excuse my ignorance - I am not a cloud microphysicist!)
