Metallicity gradients ([Fe/H]) as a function of the Galactocentric radius (RGC) for five slices in azimuth angle (ϕ): (a) 150° ≤ ϕ ≤ 165°, (b) 165° < ϕ ≤ 175°, (c) 175° < ϕ ≤ 185°, (d) 185° < ϕ ≤ 195°, and (e) 195° < ϕ ≤ 210°. Points are colored by the cluster age in Gyr, saturating at younger than 1 Gyr and older than 5 Gyr. The linear fits (blue lines), derived gradients, and number of clusters (N) used are shown in each panel. Fits were determined using only the clusters with 5 kpc ≤ RGC ≤ 14 kpc. The regions corresponding to these azimuth slices are shown on an XY plot in Figure 8.
