Comments:

This run tests the effect of inputting chi profiles into 2300. The average bootstrap fraction is 32% and peaks at 36%. This is primarily due to the much lower temperatures. After talking with Paul the edge transport coefficient should be lowered to 1 m^2/s to better match a real barrier chi profile. The temperature profile is interesting. It looks like a barrier in temperature forms at about r/a=0.3. The chi profile transitions from low to high at r/a=0.5.
