signal strength gradient
Here I'd use signal strength (gradient), as the chart obviously shows the strength of the reception signal along the railway line.

Comment: "not sure about the gradient, but signal strength makes sense...thanks"

coverage survey / coverage plot
Pegel = level' i.e. of signal. As this varies, so will the 'coverage'.
Verlauf = course of change. In this case, a 'survey' is being done to 'plot' the variation in 'coverage'

Instead of saying \"Fig. ... shows the Pegelverlauf\" you could say
\"Fig. XYZ plots the level/strength of coverage...\"

Peaks show high signal level (good coverage), troughs show low signal level (poor coverage). The horizontal axis represents travel along the track.

I think you should translate it as the noise level

: Your two web references are taken from the site of TOPSONIC who specialise in Fluglärmüberwachung. http://www.topsonic.de/ They are primarily interested in plotting ‘noise’. Carolynka’s context is not about ‘noise level’ but ‘signal level’.

hth, cant think of a better way to describe it...
