High signal-to-noise NH3 (J,K) = (1,1) and (2,2) spectra observed with the 100 m radiotelescope towards the central position of the reflection nebula NGC 2071 reveal high velocity emission of Δv ≡ 11 km/s width superimposed on a spike (Δv = 0.7 km/s) and a narrow (Δv = 1.8 km/s) molecular emission line. The rotational temperature of the high velocity outflowing gas is determined to be close to 35K, suggesting a somewhat higher kinetic temperature ≡45K. The small beam filling factor ≡1% shows that the NH3 originates from a gas with clumpy or filamentary structure on the scale of 10-2pc.
