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:

Potential Impacts of Climate Warming on Water Supply Reliability in the Tuolumne and Merced River Basins, California
TL;DR: An integrated hydrology/water operations simulation model of the Tuolumne and Merced River Basins, California, using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) platform is presented, finding that the timing of hydrology shifts earlier in the water year in response to temperature warming.

Estimating carbon budgets for U.S. ecosystems
Christopher Potter,Steven Klooster,Ramakrishna R. Nemani,Vanessa Genovese,S. Hiatt,Matthew Fladeland,Peggy Gross +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive historical baseline of the sizes of various ecosystem carbon pools and the variability in their net annual increments is provided, and the authors conclude that no retrospective analysis of the U.S. carbon balance will be possible without a comprehensive history of the size of these ecosystems.

Spring and Autumn Phenological Variability across Environmental Gradients of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA
TL;DR: A MODIS time series of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is used to understand the causes of variations in spring and autumn timing from 2000 to 2015, for a landscape renowned for its biological diversity.

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.
