 Tokamak: D3D

 Pulse number: 99251

 Shot description, purpose of the shot: 
    ELMy H-mode

 Contact persons: Robert Budny (budny@princeton.edu)

 Institution: General Atomics

 Date of shot: 19990416

 Times of interest
   = 2.2s for comparison with ctr-Ip rotation 99251

 Analysis codes: TRANSP and EFIT (for plasma boundary)

 Run number: 99251B04 done at PPPL, available via mdsplus

 Date of analysis: 20050518 TRANSP run by Robert Budny

 Assumptions for analysis:

  Up/down asymmetric boundary given by EFIT, lower X-point
  Charge Exchange analysis of all available times from 1.5-3.5s
  done by Rich Groebner in 2005
  Radiation profile from inversion of bolometry measurements

 Additional information:

  Shot 99251 has been used in rho* and plasma rotation scans.
  It is a close match for the co-Ip rotation shot 82205.
  The D-NBI lasted from 1.5 to 4.0s, and was modulated between
  4.6 and 7.3 MW.
  The voltages of the 3 sources were around 75 kV

  The directions of the toroidal field and plasma current were in the reversed Ip
  D3D directions - Bz and Ip clockwise viewed from above.

  The transp calculations have been done on a 80 zone radial grid 
  for the thermal plasma.

  In d3d_99251_2d.dat, NM1 is the trace thermal H density, NM2 is the main
  ion D density, and NM3 is the impurity C density.
  NFAST1 is the deuterium beam ion density.
