The spatio‐temporal dynamics of large‐scale structures in curved magnetic field of simple magnetized torus (SMT) are presented. The experiments are performed in the SMT BLAAMANN and employ the techniques of conditional averaging (CA) and cross‐correlation (CCF) of Langmuir probe data. By means of a detailed comparison of radio‐frequency and thermionic discharges, it is shown that general features of the observed large‐scale structures are independent of the discharge mechanism. Further, the observed large scale structures have a pronounced spatio‐temporal periodicity, which suggests a description as mode‐like. The conjectured relationship between the observed coherent structures and the inverse energy cascade is therefore questioned again. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
