We give a complete description of the implementation of the multivariate autoregressive research model. This includes a FORTRAN program and three order selection routines. We conclude with a discussion on possible extensions of our results and other applications.iv, 65 leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1987.D436Atmospheric circulationMultivariate analysisNumerical weather forecastingWeather forecastingThesis
