Histogram of hydrogen column density, N(H), for CNM (blue), DMG (filled gray), the DMG-threshold (red), and the molecular cloud (MG, green). N(H) contains contributions from H I for CNM, DMG, and the DMG-threshold cloud. Both H I and H2 (transforming from CO measurements, N(H2) = N(CO)/1 × 10−4) are included for the MG cloud. The left and right dashed lines represent N(H) = 9.4 × 1019 cm−2 (visual extinction AV =0.05 mag) and 3.8 × 1021 cm−2 (AV = 2 mag), respectively.
