This overview describes the much improved diagnostics of Alfvén instabilities and modelling tools developed world-wide, and discusses progress in interpreting the observed phenomena. A multi-machine comparison is presented giving information on the performance of both diagnostics and modelling tools for different plasma conditions outlining expectations for ITER based on our present knowledge.}, year = {2013}, journal = {Nuclear Fusion}, volume = {53}, number = {10}, pages = {104022}, url = {http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/assets/Documents/NFvol53p104022.pdf}, doi = {10.1088/0029-5515/53/10/104022}, language = {eng}, }
