TL;DR: The present status of experiments on zonal flows in magnetic confinement experiments is examined in this paper, where a number of observations have been accumulated on the oscillatory branch of zonal flow, named geodesic acoustic modes, suggesting the necessity for theories to give their proper description.
Journal ArticleDOI
