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:

Imputing Mean Annual Change to Estimate Current Forest Attributes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used three nearest neighbor imputation methods to estimate mean annual change of four forest attributes (basal area, stems, volume, and biomass) from paneled forest inventories.

REDCAPP (v1.0): parameterizing valley inversions in air temperature data downscaled from reanalyses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed REDCAPP (REanalysis Downscaling Cold Air Pooling Parameterization) with a spatially variable magnitude of surface effects and compared with three reference methods.

Sensitivity of ecosystem goods and services projections of a forest landscape model to initialization data
TL;DR: In this article, a forest landscape model LandClim is initialized with fine resolution empirical data, coarse empirical data and simulation-derived data, and evaluated the results at three spatial scales (stand, management area and landscape).

Population genetics and adaptation to climate along elevation gradients in invasive Solidago canadensis
TL;DR: It is found that while patterns of differentiation at neutral genetic markers suggested that populations are connected through extensive pollen and seed movement, common-garden plants nonetheless exhibited modest adaptation to local climate conditions, as the genotypes positioned near the range edge may be best able to take advantage of lengthening growing seasons to expand the range.

Estimating near-surface air temperature with NOAA AVHRR
James P. Riddering,LLoyd Queen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a technique is presented for producing estimates of near-surface air temperature (Ta) in complex terrain based on biweekly composite data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR).

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.
