We report the first experimental observation of stationary zonal flow in the transport-barrier region of the H-mode plasma. Strong peaks in Er shear mark the width of this region. A strong m = n = 0 low-frequency (f < 0.6 kHz) zonal flow is observed in regions of increased Er, suggesting a substantial contribution of zonal flow to the spatial modulation of Er radial profiles. Radial localization of the zonal flow is correlated with a region of zero magnetic shear and low-order (7/5) rational surfaces.
