The problem of the persistence of warping in the outer regions of many galactic HI discs is now well known. Such a warp is observed in the Milky Way, where further deviations from a flat plane are seen in the form of a systematic tilt of the gas disc near the centre, with a short-wavelength (approximately 2 kpc) corrugation at intermediate radius.
