Box 451, Princeton,New Jersey 08543, USA* Email: jmad@risoe.dtu.dkWe present an extension of existing gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations[1] for edge turbulence to include a time-dependent, strong, sheared ExB-flow. The inclusion of a non-stationary strong ExB flow is required if one tries to apply the gyrokinetic formalism to the H-mode transition and ELM bursts. The H-mode transition[2] and ELM bursts[3] are associated with the formation and changes of a strong, radial electric field Er which varies on a time scale on the order of ~100 μs. Terms, previously neglected, in the gyrokinetic equations associated with the explicit time-dependence of  Er ,must therefore be retained.A  nonlinear,  fully  electromagnetic  set  of  gyrokinetic  Vlasov-Maxwell  equations, including a time dependent background electric field, has been derived. In comparison with previous  results,  the  appearance  of  the  polarization  drift,  and  a  time  dependent  volume element, are the main implications of having an explicit time dependent, background electric field. A local energy theorem is also presented. The results are derived in both “flavours” of the gyrokinetic formalism; symplectic and Hamiltonian.  [1] T.S. Hahm, L. Wang, J. Madsen, Phys.
