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:

Constructing Retrospective Gridded Daily Precipitation and Temperature Datasets for the Conterminous United States
TL;DR: In this article, a method combining the interpolation of daily ratios/fractions derived from ground-based meteorological station records and respective fields of monthly estimates is presented and evaluated for the construction of long-range and wide-area temporal spatial datasets.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of 16 terrestrial biosphere models and 3 remote sensing products against long-term measurements of biosphere-atmosphere CO2 exchange made with eddy-covariance flux towers at 11 forested sites in North America was evaluated.

Using Low Resolution Satellite Imagery for Yield Prediction and Yield Anomaly Detection
TL;DR: The limitations created by the mixed nature of low resolution pixels are being progressively reduced by the higher resolution offered by new sensors, while the continuity of existing systems remains crucial for ensuring the stability of these systems.

Climatic water deficit, tree species ranges, and climate change in Yosemite National Park
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculated the water balance within Yosemite National Park using a modified Thornthwaite-type method and correlated AET and Deficit with tree species distribution.

Performance of the forest productivity model 3-PG applied to a wide range of forest types
TL;DR: In this article, the 3-PG model is used to predict stand growth in areas where trees have not been grown, i.e. the model can be used to estimate site productivity.

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.
