Application of
the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule (LORS2008) on 11/02/2009 (El Niño
Condition) Lake Okeechobee
Net Inflow Outlook: The Lake Okeechobee Net Inflow
Outlook has been computed using 4 methods: Croley's
method1, the SFWMD empirical method2, a sub-sampling of
El Nino warm years3 and a sub-sampling of warm years of the
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in
combination with El Nino 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: -1899
cfs 14 day running average for Lake
Okeechobee Net Inflow through 11/01/2009. According
to the classification in Tributary
Hydrologic Conditions table, this condition is Dry. -1.49 for Palmer
Index on 10/30/2009. The wettest
of the two conditions above is Near
