This work has been partially supportedb y the EC contractE V5V-CT94-0503, “Variability of the North Atlantic Storm Track,” and by CNR Project “Climate Variability and Predictability.” LAS is supportedb y a Senior Research Fellowship at Pembroke College. We have benefited from discussions with C. Allen, M. Allen and P. McSharry, and with M. Brown of Nuclear Electric Limited on the inter- pretation of grid frequency variations, an insightful review and additional referencesf rom an anonymous reviewer, and the comments of M. Muldoon.

N2 - Given that is not possible to predict the precise evolution of either stochastic processes or chaotic processes from observations, a data-based algorithm with minimal model-structure constraints is presented for generating stochastic series which are realistic, in that their long-term statistics reflect those of a process consistent with the observations. This approach employs random analogues, and complements that of deterministic nonlinear prediction which estimates an expected value. Contrasting these approaches clarifies the distinction between Lorenz's predictions of the first and second kind. Output from several nonlinear stochastic processes and observations of quasar 3C 345 are analysed; the synthetic time series have power spectra, amplitude distributions and intermittency properties similar to those of the observations.
