We present observations of the first ten degrees of longitude in the Mopra carbon monoxide ( CO ) survey of the southern Galactic plane ( Burton et al . 2013 ) , covering Galactic longitude l = 320 – 330 ^ { \circ } and latitude b = \pm 0.5 ^ { \circ } , and l = 327 – 330 ^ { \circ } , b = +0.5 – 1.0 ^ { \circ } . These data have been taken at 35 arcsec spatial resolution and 0.1 km s ^ { -1 } spectral resolution , providing an unprecedented view of the molecular clouds and gas of the southern Galactic plane in the 109–115 GHz J = 1 –0 transitions of ^ { 12 } CO , ^ { 13 } CO , C ^ { 18 } O and C ^ { 17 } O . Together with information about the noise statistics from the Mopra telescope , these data can be retrieved from the Mopra CO website and the CSIRO-ATNF data archive .
