Fig. 3

Schematic showing two representative lines of sight (dashed lines) from the solar system through the Galactic disk (GC labels the Galactic center and b labels the latitude). The intensity of [C ii] is the integral of the emissivity, ϵ, along the path length s (see text). The actual lines of sight used to calculate the intensity cover l = 5° to 25°.
