When α = 0, the scaling is said to be of the Bohm type, and when α = 1, of the gyro-Bohm type.

The L-mode scaling is of the Bohm type, while the ELMy H-mode is of the gyro-Bohm type.

Gyro-Bohm scaling is what one would expect for diffusive transport based on a diffusive scale length proportional to &rho;<sub>i</sub> (the ion gyroradius). Bohm scaling, however, suggests that transport may not be diffusive and may not characterized by a typical scale length.
