Extractions: Robert C. Hochmuth, Lei Lani Leon, George J. Hochmuth Introduction The size of the greenhouse vegetable industry in Florida in 1996 was 57 acres (Hochmuth and Hochmuth, 1996b). Traditionally the Florida greenhouse vegetable industry has consisted of crops of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce. More recently, other crops have become more important, including colored pepper, herbs, especially leafy green vegetables, and strawberry. Cluster tomato is also another example of further specialization within the tomato market. Cluster tomato production in greenhouses worldwide has become very popular in the last three years (Hochmuth, et. al., 1997). This trial was conducted to continue cultivar evaluations of new and standard cluster tomatoes in greenhouse hydroponic culture in North Florida. Materials and Methods This trial was conducted a the Suwannee Valley Research and Education Center, University of Florida, near Live Oak, Florida in a single 22' x 60' stand-alone greenhouse with 8' sidewalls. The structure was covered with two layers of 6 mil polyethylene and the area between the two layers was inflated with air. The greenhouse was equipped with an evaporative cooling pad on one end wall and ventilation fans on the opposite end wall. Propane gas was used to heat the greenhouse and provide a minimum temperature of 62 o F. Warm air was conveyed by 12" ventilation tubes along the floor between the double row of tomatoes. The same ventilation tubes were used to recirculate greenhouse air in the crop canopy to minimize free water formation on the tomato plants. In addition, horizontal air-flow fans were located above the crop and also used as recommended, primarily to reduce moisture and disease on the plants (Bartok, 1994).

KEY DEPARTMENT NEWS The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to Sign Memorandum of Agreement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Florida State and Federal Agencies Collaborate to Get Additional Data. The NWS, working in collaboration with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT), NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and Forecast System Laboratory (FSL), and Florida Weather Forecast Offices, is working to enhance weather analyses and forecasting through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) sites throughout Florida. The Florida DOT plans to install 50 GPS sites around the state to improve its geophysical observation and mapping capability. Once installed, the GPS system will help provide atmospheric moisture content measurements that may be accessed at any time (currently upper air weather balloons capture those data only twice a day). This is an important asset in increasing efficiency and effectiveness of NWS forecasting capabilities. Since GPS signals are affected by atmospheric water vapor, the FSL has developed a technique to derive Integrated Precipitable Water estimates (moisture content from the Earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere) from the GPS data. A few GPS sites are currently operational in Florida and are already providing the NWS with high resolution real time IPW estimates. All 50 GPS sites are expected to be operational within the next two years. (Contact: Ron Trumbla, W/SR, 817-978-1111, ext. 140)

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service (NWS) Partners with Dow Corning and Emergency Management Agency to Give Away 70 NOAA Weather Radios. NOAA's NWS Forecast Office in Wilmington, OH, recently partnered with Dow Corning, Carroll County Emergency Management, and the Kentucky State Emergency Management Office to give away 70 new NOAA weather radios. Dow Corning bought 70 NOAA weather radios and distributed them to hospitals, schools, nursing homes, day care centers, churches, fire departments, and government buildings in the area. The mayor, a county judge, the local police chief, NWS personnel, and Dow Corning employees went through the community in small groups distributing the radios along with NWS pamphlets. Each organization that received a radio was educated on how to use the radio, the timely information it would provide, and how to respond to warnings issued.
