Scientific paper

Atmospheric optical turbulence is the main driver of wavefront distortions which affect optical telescope performance. Therefore, many techniques have been developed to measure the optical turbulence strength along the line of sight. Based on data collected with the MASS (Multi Aperture Scintillation Sensor), we show that a large sample of such measurements can be used to assess the average three dimensional turbulence distribution above ground. The use of, and a more sophisticated instrumental setup for, such turbulence tomography will be discussed.
