Figure~\ref{fig:hists_sim-obs} shows the difference between the mean member histograms (MMH) of simulated and observed instances of each hybrid cloud regime.  This intra-regime evaluation illustrates the ways in which modelled instances of each cloud regime differ from those observed.  We observed:  \begin{enumerate} observe:  \begin{itemize}  \item \end{enumerate} All cloud regimes feature deficits of optically thin low and mid-topped cloud.  \item Even the cloud regimes with roughly correct simulated RFOs over the Southern Ocean are optically thinner in the models than in observations.  \item The total cloud cover (TCC) of the cloud regimes are frequently $10 \%$ to $20\%$ lower in the model than in observations, indicating an overall deficit of cloudiness in this region. (These deficits persist even when the optically thinnest bins from the ISCCP simulator are included in the TCC sum; i.e. using the 49-element $CTP$-$\tau$ histogram instead of the observed 42-element histogram).  \end{itemize}
