A comprehensive set of experiments has been carried out on the DIII-D tokamak to measure the 2-D (R,Z) structure of the divertor plasma in a systematic way using new diagnostics. Measurements cover the divertor radially from inside the X-point to the outer target plate and vertically from the target plate to above the X-point. Identical, repeatable shots were made, each having radial sweeps of the X-point and divertor strike points, to allow complete plasma and radiation profile measurements. Data have been obtained in ohmic, L-mode, ELMing H-mode, and reversed B{sub T} operation ({gradient}B drift away from the X-point). In addition, complete measurements were made of radiative divertor plasmas with a Partially Detached Divertor (PDD) induced by D{sub 2} injection and with a Radiating Mantle induced by Impurity injection (RMI) using neon and nitrogen. The data set includes first observations of the radial and poloidal profiles of the X-point, inner and outer leg plasmas in PDD and RMI radiative divertor operation. Preliminary data analysis shows that intrinsic impurities play a critical role in determining the SOL and divertor conditions.
