We propose studying this effect, not by varying <math>B</math>, but rather by varying <math>E</math>. To do so, we will scan the edge <math>E_r</math> from negative to positive (crossing zero), either by biasing or by varying the mean density near the spontaneous transition value (<math>n_e \simeq 0.6 ⋅ 10^{19}</math>). Near zero Er, transport across the LCFS should be more streamer-like. | We propose studying this effect, not by varying <math>B</math>, but rather by varying <math>E</math>.

Measurements to make: In this scan, we will measure: Isat decay length in SOL (if possible - this may require several discharges), and omega_S.<ref>P. Manz, T. Ribeiro, B. Scott, G. Birkenmeier, D.

We will also attempt to quantify 'blobbiness', in order to detect the transition between 'blob-type' and 'streamer-type' turbulence. This difference might also be reflected in the radial correlation length (or causality, cf. Transfer Entropy). Perhaps there are other ways to quantify the difference between 'blob-type' and 'streamer-type' turbulence. | We will also attempt to quantify 'blobbiness', in order to detect the transition between 'blob-type' and 'streamer-type' turbulence.
