Continuously recorded gage heights for the past 30 days are compared to daily (mean) gage heights from last year, the FY2000 water level schedule for Lake Okeechobee, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.

Description of information presented in the current 30-day hydrograph at MIA CANAL @ S-354/S-3 (02286400)
The change in daily gage height elevations correlates with time to a 95-percent degree of confidence for the past 35 years of record. A linear regression has been performed against the daily maximum gage height elevations for the past 35 years to quantify a long-term trend in the data. The estimated long-term trend in gage height is -0.045 ft/year. (Description of statistical methods)
D
Continuously recorded gage heights for the past 90 days are compared to daily (mean) gage heights from last year, the minimum and maximum daily levels for the corresponding weeks of the year for the site period of record, and daily levels for the 2001 drought year.
