Abstract
The Canary Islands, being so close to the biggest desert on earth, stand periodical invasions of saharian winds. The sliding of these masses of continental-tropical air usually carries great quantities of particled material of a sandy structure, known as dust, which falls on the islands an their surrounding sea. On this work we try to fix the bases to study some selection techniques and measurement devices, showing at the sametime an example of these atmospheric situations, so singular on the climate of this region of the planet.
