GPI Diagnostic Interpretation
• HeI light emission “I” visible where 5 eV < Te < 50 eV
• I neTe
where≈0.5and≈0.7near center of cloud,with 0.4 < < 1 and 0 < < 2over most of cloud
• Space-time structure of I similar to ne, but I/I ≈ ne/ne
• Fluctuation spectra of I similar to probe and reflectometer
• Fluctuation level of I consistent with TS data ( ≈10-60%)
GPI light gives approximate structure of edge turbulence

Motion of Coherent Structures• Track high intensity “blobs” over 28 frames of movies• Broad distribution of velocities and intensities
![Page 16: High Speed Imaging of Edge Turbulence in NSTX S.J. Zweben, R. Maqueda 1, D.P. Stotler, A. Keesee 2, J. Boedo 3, C. Bush 4, S. Kaye, B. LeBlanc, J. Lowrance](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062805/5697c01b1a28abf838ccf72a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Summary of Results So Far
• Images consistent with previous measurements- large fluctuation level in edge- broad frequency and k-spectrum- approx. isotropic structure B
• Coherent structures seem to move through edge- “blob- like” look similar to DIII-D IPOs- “wave-like” look similar to EDA, QCM
• H-mode generally more quiescent than L-mode- considerable variation in behavior- transitions can happen very fast

Plans for Comparison with Theory
Using DEGAS-2 or related atomic physics models:
• Compare GPI with BOUT simulations for H- and L-mode (Xu and Nevins)
• Compare motion of GPI “blobs” with blob model (D’Ippolito and Myra)
• Compare with other simulations…

Plans for Additional Measurements
• Capture H-mode transition with high speed camera
• Get better data on zonal flows in images and chords
• Examine turbulence nearer density limit
• Look during RF heating, e.g. co- vs. ctr. current drive
• Make systematic scans of q(a), rotation, Zeff, etc.
• Make quantitative comparisons with other diagnostics
