Gas-Pu -Imaging (GPI) is a two dimensional diagnostic which measures the edge Dα light emission from a neutral Dα gas puff near the outer mid- plane of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). DEGAS 2 is a 3-D Monte Carlo code used to model neutral transport and plasma-neutral interactions in fusion plasmas. In this paper, we compare the measured and modeled Dα light emission for speci c NSTX experiments. Both the simulated spatial distribution and radiance of the Dα light emission agree well with the experimental data obtained between Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) in ELMy H-modes.
