See Figure~\ref{fig:hists} for the cluster centroids of each hybrid cloud regime, along with the overall relative frequency of occurrence (RFO) in the observations and simulations in the area of interest (50--65 S).  This inter-regime evaluation illustrates the large-scale cloud types that are broadly well-represented in the model, as well as identifying any cloud structures that are unique to the model.  We observe:  \begin{itemize}  \item The majority of the identified hybrid cloud regimes are strongly associated with observed cloud regimes, with the exception of H4 and H6, which appear to be optically-thinner versions of the deep low cloud regimes (H5) and the optically thin mid-topped cloud regimes (H7), respectively. 

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 observe:  \begin{itemize}  \item All cloud regimes feature deficits of optically thin low and mid-topped cloud.
