Application of the The Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow Outlook has been
computed using 4 methods: Croley's method1,
the SFWMD empirical method2, a sub-sampling of Neutral ENSO years3
and a sub-sampling of warm years in the Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO) in combination with Neutral ENSO years4. The
results for Croley's method and the SFWMD empirical
method are based on the CPC
outlook. Table of the Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow
Outlooks in feet of equivalent depth. All methods are updated on a weekly
basis with observed net inflow for the current month.
See Seasonal and Multi-Seasonal tables for
the classification of Lake Okeechobee Outlooks. The recommended methods and values for estimating the Lake
Okeechobee Net Inflow Outlook are shaded and should be used in the LORS2008
Release Guidance Flow Charts. Tributary Hydrologic Conditions Graph: 27972 cfs 14 day running average for Lake
Okeechobee Net Inflow through 09/7/08. 1.91 for Palmer Index on 09/6/08. The wettest of the two conditions above is Very Wet LORS2008 Classification Tables: USACE
