✦ Synopsis

Spatiotemporal data from a plasma drift-wave experiment are analyzed by the biorthogonal decomposition (BOD). A description of the route to turbulence is given in terms of modulated monochromatic traveling waves. A low-dimensional dynamical system decribing some of the features of the route to the weak turbulence observed is presented.
