28. r/2π, we observe a corresponding decrease from 765 Hz at 676 G to 710 Hz at magnetic fields above 1.2 kG; at 837 G we obtain 740 Hz. Our measurements of the sloshing mode frequency agree well with an expected scaling of the lowest-order anharmonicity correction with the squared cloud size [20].
