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:

Quantifying overlap and fitness consequences of migration strategy with seasonal habitat use and a conservation policy

TL;DR: The results indicate that Core Areas were not the most direct way to protect winter habitat for sage-grouse, and females that did not migrate out of their respective winter habitat had lower risk of death, which highlighted year-round benefits of winter habitat.

Estimating Evapotranspiration From Satellite Using Easily Obtainable Variables: A Case Study Over the Southern Great Plains, USA
TL;DR: The feasibility of generating spatially continuous daily evaporative fraction (EF) and ET from minimal remotely sensed and meteorological inputs in a trapezoidal framework is demonstrated and potential improvements to the model are proposed to improve accuracy in EF and ET estimates at the expense of adding more variables.

Assessing Climate Change Effects on Mountain Ecosystems Using Integrated Models: A Case Study
TL;DR: Schimel et al. as discussed by the authors recognized the importance of mountain ecosystems as critical entities in regional climatic and hydrological dynamics, and their importance as terrestrial carbon stores has only been recently underscored.

Sensitivity of a carbon and productivity model to climatic, water, terrain, and biophysical parameters in a Rocky Mountain watershed
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic evaluation of the boreal ecosystem productivity simulator (BEPS) model in mountainous terrain using an established montane forest test site in Kananaskis, Alberta, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

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.
