Since a few years measurements of the optical turbulence vertical distribution have been done at Mt. Graham with a Generalized Scidar (GS) located at the focus of the 1.75 m Vatican Advance Technological Telescope (VATT). Such a telescope is placed on the summit of Mt. Graham (Arizona) at around 250 m far away from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Thanks to a new technique1 that we recently proposed based on the GS observations of wide-binaries (30-35 arcsec), measurements of CN2 profiles characterized by a vertical resolution as high as 20-30 m in the first 600 m have been also collected. The statistic sample of measurements consists, at present, of 43 nights distributed in different periods of the year. In this contribution we present the main scientific motivations as well as the analysis of this extended survey and new insights into the turbulence characterization achieved so far by this on-going activity.
