Generating surfaces of daily meteorological variables over large regions of complex terrain
TLDR
In this paper, a method for generating daily surfaces of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and radiation over large regions of complex terrain is presented, based on the spatial convolution of a truncated Gaussian weighting filter with the set of station locations.About:

Generating reliable meteorological data in mountainous areas with scarce presence of weather records: The performance of MTCLIM in interior British Columbia, Canada
TL;DR: It is concluded that MTCLIM can extrapolate reliable weather data for use in ecological studies in arid mountainous terrain, provided there is an adequate weather record at the reference station and proper information to calculate the input parameters: lapse rates and precipitation isohyets.

Climate changes and wildfire alter vegetation of Yellowstone National Park, but forest cover persists
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of changing climates on forest vegetation and fire regimes in Yellowstone National Park, USA, by mid-21st century were simulated using the FireBGCv2 model.

Farmers' perceptions of climate change in China: the influence of social networks and farm assets
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined farmers' perceptions of annual mean temperature, the consistency of these perceptions with meteorological record data, and what influences this relationship, and concluded that social networks can improve a farmer's ability to correctly perceive temperature changes.

A Statistical-Topographic Model for Mapping Climatological Precipitation over Mountainous Terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analytical model that distributes point measurements of monthly and annual precipitation to regularly spaced grid cells in midlatitude regions, using a combination of climatological and statistical concepts to analyze orographic precipitation.

A general model of forest ecosystem processes for regional applications I. Hydrologic balance, canopy gas exchange and primary production processes
TL;DR: In this paper, an ecosystem process model is described that calculates the carbon, water and nitrogen cycles through a forest ecosystem, which uses leaf area index (lai) to quantify the forest structure important for energy and mass exchange, and represents a key simplification for regional scale applications.

On the relationship between incoming solar radiation and daily maximum and minimum temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between atmospheric transmittance and the daily range of air temperature is developed, where the relationship is Tt = A[1 −exp(exp(BΔTc)] where Tt is the daily total atmospherictransmittance, ΔT is the average air temperature, and A, B, and C are empirical coefficients, determined for a particular location from measured solar radiation data.
