We present our preliminary results on the application of dendrogram statistics to the carbon monoxide PPV map of the giant molecular cloud G333. We obtain the dendrograms at various merging levels and found the clustering of branches is independent from the merging levels. The statistics of intensity distributions show gravity is possibly significant in this cloud and the gas may be sonic. Application of this method to other molecular lines data are required for further analysis of the cloud properties.
