The first probe measurements of edge turbulence and transport in a neutral beam induced high confinement mode (H‐mode) are reported. A strong negative radial electric field is directly observed in H‐mode. A transient suppression of normalized ion saturation and floating potential fluctuation levels occurs at the low confinement mode to high confinement mode (L–H) transition, followed by a recovery to near low mode (L‐mode) levels. The average poloidal wave number and the poloidal wave‐number spectral width are decreased, and the correlation between fluctuating density and potential is reduced. A large‐amplitude coherent oscillation, localized to the strong radial electric field region, is observed in H‐mode but does not cause transport. In H‐mode the effective turbulent diffusion coefficient is reduced by an order of magnitude inside the last closed flux surface and in the scrape‐off layer. The results are compared with a heuristic model of turbulence suppression by velocity‐shear stabilization.
