Distribution of high-velocity halo clouds for the three high-resolution simulation runs. The different colors refer to the individual simulation runs and the line style encodes the considered distance bin. The cloud statistics have been sampled in 180 individual reference points along an artificial solar circle in the respective simulation. Each line represents the cloud column density distribution, representing the average of the all-sky mock surveys as seen from the various references along the solar circle. Alongside the simulation data, observational results Moss et al. (2013) are shown. In this representation, we compare the observational findings of Moss et al. (2013). A zoomed-in version of the plot emphasizes the lower abundance regime of the plot, which is particularly populated by the data from the outermost distance bins.
