Abstract

We have detected hundreds of HI clouds in the lower Galactic halo within the Galactic All-Sky Survey pilot region, a region spanning 325° ≤ l ≤ 343° and |b| < 20°. The motions of these clouds are governed by Galactic rotation, they are seen within the disk and up to heights of 2.5 kpc, and they span a wide range of Galactocentric radii. However, these clouds are not uniformly distributed and appear to be associated with Galactic structures such as spiral arms or superbubbles.
