Abstract

We present a galactic survey which to date consists of 73,000 positions covering −5° < l < 122°, −1° < b < 1° , observed in the J=1 → 0 line of 13CO to an rms noise level of 0.15 K in 0.68 km s−1 channels, using the 7 m antenna at Crawford Hill. It is shown that the internal velocity dispersions of molecular clouds tend to vary inversely with galactocentric radius.
