title = "Intermittent turbulence and turbulent structures in LAPD and et",
abstract = "Strongly intermittent turbulence is observed in the shadow of a limiter in the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) and in both the inboard and outboard scrape-off-layer (SOL) in the Electric Tokamak (ET) at UCLA. In LAPD, the amplitude probability distribution function (PDF) of the turbulence is strongly skewed, with density depletion events (or {"}holes{"}) dominant in the high density region and density enhancement events (or {"}blobs{"}) dominant in the low density region. Two-dimensional cross-conditional averaging shows that the blobs are detached, outward-propagating filamentary structures with a clear dipolar potential while the holes appear to be part of a more extended turbulent structure. A statistical study of the blobs reveals a typical size of ten times the ion sound gyroradius and a typical velocity of one tenth the sound speed. In ET, intermittent turbulence is observed on both the inboard and outboard midplane.",
