SLODAR (SLOpe Detection And Ranging) is a technique for real-time monitoring of the vertical profile of atmospheric optical turbulence strength and velocity from Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor observations of bright binary stars. Results are presented from SLODAR systems deployed at the William Herschel telescope and Mercator telescope in La Palma. We describe the design of a prototype portable SLODAR instrument which is being developed as a site characterization tool for ELTs, and for real-time support of astronomy with adaptive optics.
