Heat flux profiles inferred from a reciprocating probe at the outer midplane of the TCV tokamak during inner wall limited discharges feature radial fall-off lengths that shorten near the last closed flux surface (LCFS) consistent with the so-called narrow feature. The narrow feature is significantly wider on the outboard side compared with that measured on the inner wall by infrared thermography, so it is difficult to discern from the main scrape-off layer feature. After small shifts were applied for alignment, the fraction of the power contained in the narrow feature matches between inboard and outboard measurements, and they scale together with plasma current Ip, suggesting that we are observing the same phenomenon. The outboard side fall-off length within the narrow feature is found to scale closely with the radial correlation length of the edge turbulence as expected if the narrow feature arises due to radially sheared E × B flows. This is found to hold true even for cases where the narrow feature is ...
