The other parameters of turbulence are also accessible from this instrument as the profile of outer scale, the seeing and isoplanatic & isopistonicdomains. The PBL succeeded to our first moon limb profiler MOSP (Monitor of Outer Scale Profile) which was developed mainly for outer scale profile extraction. Several campaigns have been carried out with MOSP particularly at Mauna Kea Observatory (Hawaii) and Cerro Paranal in Chile. The PBL instrument has been installed at Dome C in Antarctica since January 2011. In addition to this winterized PBL for Dome C, a second copy of this instrument has been developed for mid-latitude sites.

International audience The futures large telescopes will be certainly equipped with Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics systems.
