Application of the Lake
Okeechobee Regulation Schedule (LORS2008) on 12/29/2008 (Neutral Condition) 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. Note: the CPC outlook is shifting into the la Nina
condition, the summary can be found here. 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: -875 fs 14 day running average for Lake
Okeechobee Net Inflow through 12/21/08.
-1.55 for Palmer Index on 12/20/08. The wettest of the two conditions above is Dry. LORS2008 Classification Tables: USACE Report
