RESUMO
We show that the modulational instability growth rate of zonal flows is determined directly from the quasilinear wave kinetic equation. We also demonstrate the relation between zonal-flow growth and the cross bispectrum of the high-frequency drift-wave-driven Reynolds stress and the low-frequency plasma potential by explicit calculation. Experimental measurements of the spatiotemporal evolution of the spectrum integrated bicoherence at the L-->H transition near the edge shear layer indicate a modification in the nonlinear phase coupling, which might be linked to the generation of sheared ExB flows.
