Abstract
We present observations of the Mopra carbon monoxide (CO) survey of the Southern Galactic Plane, covering Galactic longitudes spanning
$l = 250^{\circ}$
(
$-110^{\circ}$
) to
$l = 355^{\circ}$
(
$-5^{\circ}$
), with a latitudinal coverage of at least
$|b|<1^\circ$
, totalling an area of
$>$
210 deg
$^{2}$
. These data have been taken at 0.6 arcmin spatial resolution and 0.1 km s
$^{-1}$
spectral resolution, providing an unprecedented view of the molecular gas clouds of the Southern Galactic Plane in the 109–115 GHz
$J = 1-0$
transitions of
