We present plots of the pattern of particle formation in $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV Au+Au heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) using three different two-particle correlation measurements of number and transverse momentum as a function of relative azimuth, pseudorapidity and centrality. All three observables show the onset of a ``ridge\" feature of enhanced correlations in pseudorapidity with increasing centrality. The plots of real data are compared to plots of simulations using RQMD data and data from a simple ``cluster'' model. The intent of the analysis is to analyze the role of radial flow in the onset of the ridge, and to offer canonical representations of the observables.
