Abstract
The molecular gas survey of the southern galactic plane is being conducted with the Mopra millimetre-wave telescope in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia. The survey is designed to map the distribution and dynamics of the carbon monoxide molecule (CO) along a 105 degree sector of the Galactic Plane, from l=265—360°. The principal scientific motivation is to understand how molecular clouds are formed in space.
