Profile consistency is the observation that profiles tend to have roughly the same shape, regardless of the power and location of the applied heating. | <ref>B.A. Carreras, IEEE Trans.

Power degradation shows up in global transport scaling laws, and implies a sub-linear scaling of the plasma energy content with the injected power. | Power degradation shows up in global transport [[Scaling laws|scaling laws]], and implies a sub-linear scaling of the plasma energy content with the injected power. | ||
The basic explanation for these phenomena is self-regulation of the profiles by [[TJ-II:Turbulence|turbulence]]. | The basic explanation for these phenomena is self-regulation of the profiles by [[TJ-II:Turbulence|turbulence]]. | ||
