The L-mode scaling is of the Bohm type, while the ELMy H-mode scaling is of the gyro-Bohm type.
The L-mode scaling is of the Bohm type, while the ELMy H-mode scaling 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 [[Non-diffusive transport|not be diffusive]] and may not characterized by a typical scale length.

Bohm scaling, however, suggests that transport may [[Non-diffusive transport|not be diffusive]] and is not characterized by a typical scale length, i.e., is dominated by the scale length corresponding to the machine size (non-local).
