Descripción
We present the statistical results of the monitoring of the optical
turbulence profiles at the Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) and Teide
observatories (OT), Spain. The data has been obtained using the
Generalized-SCIDAR technique at the 1m Jacobous Kaptein telescope at the
ORM and 1.5m Carlos Sánchez telescope at the OT. Statistical
profiles are based on 150 nights of measurements recorded at the ORM
from February 2004 to July 2008 and 140 nights at the OT obtained from
November 2002 to July 2008. The monthly statistical profiles for
different years present a similar structure for different years,
suggesting a stable seasonal evolution of the turbulence at the Canary
Islands sites. Statistically, the turbulence structure at ORM and OT is
similar and present a similar evolution along the seasons. The
consistence of the behaviour of the turbulence in different time scales
is crucial for AO/MCAO systems implementation.
