Abstract
The high-galactic-latitude cloud L1642 (l = 210.8°, b = −36.7°) is a suitable candidate to relate IR measurements with atomic and molecular data because it has a reasonable size with respect to the rather poor (IRAS) IR resolution, a moderate optical extinction and an isolated location in the direction towards the galactic anticenter. The exceptionally high galactic latitude of −36.7° implies that L1642 is some 60 pc below the galactic plane (if r ≈ 100 pc is adopted for its distance). L1642 is thus sufficiently far off the galactic plane to minimize the confusion by background gas and dust clouds.
