It is shown that the ion polarization drift gives rise to a finite density flux in drift wave turbulence. A visible effect of this transport is reflected in the motion of coherent vortical structures, which results in strong, burst-like transport. If there is no phase shift between density and potential fluctuations it is the dominant contribution to the flux, even when the drift is the dominating velocity.
