In this work, an automated method for the analysis of data from the correlation electron cyclotron emission (CECE) diagnostic is applied to discharges in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak. This recently developed, automated method provides an efficient means of accurately analysing large quantities of experimental turbulence data, enabling the development of the largest database of CECE measurements of tokamak plasmas to-date. The turbulence database provides the opportunity to search for large-scale trends in experimental data to improve our understanding of transport-relevant plasma turbulence. The results of physics-based investigations utilizing this turbulence database will be reported on separately from this work.
