Just above the H-mode threshold power at low density, small amplitude high repetition rate (1-5 kHz) type III edge-localized modes (ELMs) are observed. At higher input power, the H-modes become ELM-free. At high density and high input power (, MW), the plasma often enters a new H-mode regime now called the enhanced H-mode, which is a steady-state H-mode often without distinct ELMs but with high levels of emission. Enhanced H-modes are accompanied by persistent high-frequency broadband (50-400 kHz) density and magnetic fluctuations. Above about , the enhanced H-modes may also exhibit bursting or continuous low m, n coherent magnetic fluctuations with frequencies from 60-90 kHz. In the H-mode, steep edge gradients are observed with a nine-channel electron cyclotron emission (ECE) polychromator and a 38-channel, high-resolution, edge soft-x-ray array. The soft-x-ray pedestal width remains around 3 to 4 mm in the ELM-free H-mode and between type III ELMs. The pedestal collapses within during an ELM. Calculations indicate that the plasma in the H-mode is often near ideal ballooning first stability limits, but no type I ELMs have yet been identified. Edge micro-tearing modes destabilized by a steep temperature gradient are also considered as a possible explanation of the observed fluctuations during the enhanced H-mode.

Hモード閾値パワー直上の低密度領域では、低振幅の高繰り返し(1-5 kHz)タイプIIIエッジ局在モード(ELM)が観測される。入力パワーを増加させると、HモードはELMフリー状態となる。高密度かつ高入力パワー(MW)領域では、プラズマはしばしば新たなHモード状態である「高閉じ込めHモード」へ遷移する。この状態は、明確なELMを伴わない定常Hモードであり、高いレベルの発光を伴う。高閉じ込めHモードには、高周波数帯域(50-400 kHz)の密度・磁場揺動が持続的に伴う。さらに高パワー(約)では、高閉じ込めHモードは、60-90 kHzの周波数を持つ低トロイダルモード数(m, n)のコヒーレントな磁場揺動をバースト的または連続的に示すことがある。Hモードでは、9チャンネルの電子サイクロトロン放射(ECE)分光計と38チャンネルの高分解能エッジ軟X線アレイを用いて、急峻なエッジ勾配が観測される。軟X線ペデスタル幅は、ELMフリーHモードおよびタイプIII ELM間において約3〜4 mmに維持される。ELM発生中にはペデスタルが崩壊する。計算により、Hモードプラズマはしばしば理想バルーニング第一安定性限界に近いことが示されるが、タイプI ELMはまだ同定されていない。高閉じ込めHモード期間中に観測される揺動の説明として、急峻な温度勾配によって不安定化されるエッジ微視的テアリングモードも考慮されている。
