Abstract: High time resolution measurements of the electrostatic fluctuations, radial electric field Er and turbulence-induced electron flux Γe have been performed across the transition of lower-hybrid-current-drive-improved confinement with a graphite Langmuir probe array at the last closed flux surface of HT-7 tokamak. The decrease of Γe is dominated by the suppression of fluctuation levels, which follows the change of Er. A reversion of the poloidal propagation direction of turbulence demonstrates that the poloidal propagation is dominated by Er x BФ drift. The enhancement of poloidal coherence accompanies the fluctuation suppression, which suggests the subtle variation of turbulence features.
