Layered cloud cover not covered enough?

[andrelevy]

I get the impression that the (somewhat) new layered cloud cover doesn’t track as well with observation as the unlayered cloud cover does:

I get it that these are different sources/models, but I notice that, in the layered view, even in the cloudiest of days, the cloud layers never touch each other. Would it be just a matter of scaling? @duane explained something about a bug in the unlayered view here, but I didn’t quite understand it.

For comparison, here’s how Windy shows clouds:

Just to be clear there are no “observations” here. These are all model predictions. So yes, we’re comparing different models which is difficult.

There is a little gap between the cloud layers to provide clear distinction between layers. It also doesn’t look nice when they touch. 100% is when it touches the line above the cloud layer. It’s not a bug.

Ok.

I meant my own.
