The results of an experimental study of the dynamics of large-scale density and potential fluctuations in the SOL of the stellarator Wendelstein-7AS are presented. The fluctuations are measured by electrostatic probes. To extract large-scale coherent fluctuation structures from the noisy uncorrelated background, data is analyzed with conditional averaging [1]. It turns out that monopole-like potential structures with typical lifetimes of 20µ s and spatial extension of 5mm-10mm propagate poloidally in ion diamagnetic drift direction. The cross-parameter study between potential and density fluctuations shows that the fluctuations are poloidally phase–shifted by −π/2. A toroidal phase shift is not observed. The results strongly support that the formation of the large-scale fluctuation structures is based on the interchange instability [2].
