Scientific paper

A basic model and simple numerical relations useful for future far-infrared studies of the Galaxy are presented. Making use of recent CO and other galactic surveys, the diffuse far-infrared flux distribution from the galactic planes is predicted as a function of galactic longitude for the region between 4 and 90 deg longitude; the far-infrared emissivity is predicted as a function of galactocentric distance. Future measurements of the galactic far-infrared flux would yield valuable information on the physical properties and distribution of dust and molecular clouds in the Galaxy, particularly the inner region.
