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: -2931 cfs 14 day running average for
Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow through 11/9/08. -0.88 for Palmer Index on 11/8/08. The wettest of the two conditions above is Near Normal LORS2008 Classification Tables: USACE Report
