Revised scheme presenting a cross-cut view of the NLR of NGC 1068 along the projected direction of the ionized outflow axis (PA ∼ 30°; shown by the green line). The new ALMA data show that CO line emission is split into blueshifted and redshifted components (relative to v_sys) along the outflow axis, from the torus out to the edge of the CND, here represented by Knot N and Knot S. We highlight the extent of the AGN-ionized wind (gray shade) and the assumed geometry defined by the inclination of the galaxy disk, i = 41°, the inclination of the outflow axis, i_outflow ≥ 80°, and the full opening angle of the outflow, FWHM_outer ≃ 80°.
