Descripción
We present the statistical results of the optical-turbulence profiles at
the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos over a period of six
consecutive months. The data were obtained using the generalized SCIDAR
technique at the 1m Jacobous Kaptein Telescope. In general, most of the
turbulence is concentrated close to the observatory level (2400 m above
sea level) with no more than two turbulent layers at higher altitudes.
The temporal evolution along six consecutive months indicates that the
turbulence is concentrated at lower altitude layers during winter. Large
isoplanatic angles are also reached in winter compared to the values in
spring. For the turbulence profiles measured in February, March and
April we have analized the statistical position of demorfable mirrors in
an ideal Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system (with two or three
deformable mirrors) and the improvements in the isoplanatic angles.
