  Upgraded spectroscopic hardware and an improved impurity concentration
calculation allow accurate determination of boron density in the ASDEX Upgrade
tokamak. A database of boron measurements is compared to quasilinear and
nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations including Coriolis and centrifugal rotational
effects over a range of H-mode plasma regimes. The peaking of the measured
boron profiles shows a strong anti-correlation with the plasma rotation
gradient, via a relationship explained and reproduced by the theory. It is
demonstrated that the rotodiffusive impurity flux driven by the rotation
gradient is required for the modelling to reproduce the hollow boron profiles
at higher rotation gradients. The nonlinear simulations validate the
quasilinear approach, and, with the addition of perpendicular flow shear,
demonstrate that each symmetry breaking mechanism that causes momentum
transport also couples to rotodiffusion. At lower rotation gradients, the
parallel compressive convection is required to match the most peaked boron
profiles. The sensitivities of both datasets to possible errors is
investigated, and quantitative agreement is found within the estimated
uncertainties. The approach used can be considered a template for mitigating
uncertainty in quantitative comparisons between simulation and experiment.
