Average profiles of the mass-to-flux ratio (upper panel), and the number density (lower panel) of the cloud in concentric radial shells at a time of 1.44 t_ff The averages were created by considering a slice perpendicular to the z axis centered at the location of the maximum density. With the blue points in the upper panel we show the true mass-to-flux ratio, and with the magenta points we show the observed mass-to-flux ratio. Even though the drift velocity exhibits complex features, there is still a good correlation in terms of averages between the true mass-to-flux ratio and the number density of the cloud. On the other hand, the radial profile of the observed mass-to-flux ratio does not correspond well to either the true mass-to-flux ratio or the number density of the cloud.
