We present the final data release of observations of lambda 21-cm emission
from Galactic neutral hydrogen over the entire sky, merging the
Leiden/Dwingeloo Survey (LDS: Hartmann & Burton, 1997) of the sky north of
delta = -30 deg with the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomia Survey (IAR:
Arnal et al., 2000, and Bajaja et al., 2005) of the sky south of delta = -25
deg. The angular resolution of the combined material is HPBW ~ 0.6 deg. The LSR
velocity coverage spans the interval -450 km/s to +400 km/s, at a resolution of
1.3 km/s. The data were corrected for stray radiation at the Institute for
Radioastronomy of the University of Bonn, refining the original correction
applied to the LDS. The rms brightness-temperature noise of the merged database
is 0.07 - 0.09 K. Residual errors in the profile wings due to defects in the
correction for stray radiation are for most of the data below a level of 20 -
40 mK. It would be necessary to construct a telescope with a main beam
efficiency of eta_{MB} > 99% to achieve the same accuracy. The merged and
refined material entering the LAB Survey of Galactic HI is intended to be a
general resource useful to a wide range of studies of the physical and
structural characteristices of the Galactic interstellar environment. The LAB
Survey is the most sensitive Milky Way HI survey to date, with the most
extensive coverage both spatially and kinematically.
