The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the POD Index for the classification of some Florida soils in thermic and hyperthermic temperature regimes, based on the methods of Schaetzl and Mokma (1988). This study, therefore, extends

Drainage networks that have formed by ground-water sapping are developed in the highly permeable sands of the Citronelle Formation in the Florida Panhandle. The valleys resemble those formed on Hawaii, the Colorado Plateau and on Mars, but they have
Rainfall and temperature records for the last half century are analyzed for peninsular Florida. A recent increase in winter precipitation, weakening toward the south, appears to be related to the temperature decline of the last several decades
of precipitation throughout the Florida peninsula and extended drought conditions for the southern half of the peninsula.

Results are compared of using arithmetic averaging and kriging to estimate daily area-average rainfall during the summer 1991 Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE) in central Florida, where convective rainstorms often
Precipitation and river-flow data from peninsular Florida show a trend toward increased aridity beginning about 1960. The trend follows by 10-20 yr the onset of Northern Hemispheric cooling and indicates a possible present-day link between
this cooling and the recent decrease in precipitation in peninsular Florida. This phenomenon tends to support the hypothesis of a return to cooler and drier conditions, perhaps, similar to those prevailing during the Little Ice Age.

One half of the 834 resort hotels in the USA are in Florida, Nevada, and Hawaii. Coastal locations are especially numerous and many are in locations having either warm winters or cool summers. Conventions now form a major part of their business

Despite their arrival since only the 1960s, Cubans now number more than 500 000 in Dade County (Miami), Florida. Many of the one million Cubans elsewhere in the USA often move or wish to move eventually to Miami. Blocked from returning to Cuba
