  • We have observed the part of the second quadrant of the Galactic Plane in $^{13}CO(1-0)$ using the multibeam receiver system installed on the 14 m telescope at Taeduk Radio Astronomy Observatory. The target region (L=108 to 112.5) is the part of the $^{12}CO$ Outer Galactic Plane Survey (Heyer et al. 1998), and it is for the exact Galactic plane with the latitude range of +1 and -1 degree. Total of 48,000 spectra (about 9 square degees) were obtained on 50" grid. The selected velocity resolution is 0.63 km/sec and sensitivity per channel is 0.17 K, and the covered velocity is 320 km/sec. We developed a new reduction method, which effectively deals with a relatively noisy 3-dimensional database. The collected $^{13}CO$ database will be manipulated with pre-existing $^{12}CO$ data to get several physical parameters. As it is located in the second quadrant, the kinematic distances of the individual clouds, which will be identified, can be estimated relatively easily without any distance ambiguity. In this meeting we present the reduction method, statistics, and some channel maps, integrated intensity maps, and spatial-velocity maps. We intend to clarify any difference of their characteristics between the clouds in the Outer Galaxy and Inner Galaxy using our data base.
