28 Motivation Observations at high spectral resolutions are important... HI emission to seperate individual velocity components to estimate the strength and source of the energy input to the turbulent interstellar medium to estimate the importance of stellar winds and outflows to seperate emission of different phases of the ISM, i.e. the WIM from the CNM. (Diffuse clouds are not visible in CO, rather CII or OI has to be used as tracer and HI.) HI absorption CII emission MHD simulation of the line structure of the cold neutral medium by Hennebelle & Perault (2000)

29 Motivation Observations at high spectral resolutions are important... to seperate individual velocity components to estimate the strength and source of the energy input to the turbulent interstellar medium to estimate the importance of stellar winds and outflows to seperate emission of different phases of the ISM, i.e. the WIM from the CNM. to detect spectral fine structure, e.g. to seperate 13 CII from 12CII.
