Plots of spectrogram slope versus central frequency from least-squares fit, for convergent events with nchi2 < .7 ("good").
Of 4016 events, 2899 were "good convergent."

Slope of spectrogram alpha versus central frequency f0, large scale (all events on the plot). The numbers in the upper-right-hand corner of each plot are: total number of events, number of events on the plot, (and, for the 1-D plots) mean and standard deviation for the distribution. This sample consists of convergent events with nchi2 < .7 ("good.").
f0 vs alpha, blowup in alpha. There are interesting off-frequency events which seem to be good fits; they are near alpha = 0, and may correspond to constant- frequency interference.
f0 vs alpha, blowup.
f0 vs alpha, central.
