Abstract
Ensemble forecasts have a growing use in the field of water resources systems analysis. In general, two types can be used: rainfall/runoff models and stochastic techniques. But which is better? We compare forecasts for the Chattahoocee River in Georgia generated by NOAA's Southeast River Forecast Center using ESP and a stochastic technique developed by Robert M. Hirsch. Similarities and differences in the forecasts are shown and analyzed.
