On detection of a global mode structure in experiments by use of turbulence diagnostic simulator

Development of experimental diagnostics in fusion plasmas has made possible to measure plasma fluctuations with high spatial and temporal resolution. To detect a global mode, which contributes to global transport phenomena, it is helpful to use simulation data as a test field for the measurements. The turbulence diagnostic simulator is an assembly of codes for turbulence simulations and numerical diagnostics. Using the turbulence diagnostic simulator, a time series of turbulence data is obtained, on which numerical diagnostics are carried out to demonstrate how global modes to be observed. There exist modes, which are broad in the radial direction, and correlation analyses reveal the characteristic structures with a finite number of local observations in the radial direction, as in experiments.
