Notes.

(a)

The estimates of distances are from: Schlafly et al. (2014) for Taurus, Ophiuchus, Perseus, IC 5146, Cepheus, and Orion; Knude & Hog (1998) for Lupus and CrA; Whittet et al. (1997) for Chamaeleon-Musca; and Straižys et al. (2003) for Aquila Rift.

(b)

Estimated from τ353 using Eq. (1)for the selected pixels defined in Appendix A.

(c)

Using the line integral WCO over − 10 <v/ (km s-1) < 10 from the Dame et al. (2001) survey and XCO = 1.8 × 1020 cm-2K-1 km-1 s.
