Note that if the temperature gradient is anti-parallel to the magnetic field gradient, the ExB drift will suppress the perturbation rather than increase it. This situation occurs on the inner, "good-curvature" side of the tokamak. | Note that if the temperature gradient is anti-parallel to the magnetic field gradient, the ExB drift will suppress the perturbation rather than increase it.
