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:

Radial growth changes in Norway spruce montane and subalpine forests after strip cutting in the Swiss Alps
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of strip cutting in four Alpine spruce stands differing in site and stand conditions through a dendrochronological analysis of 134 tree stems was assessed for the 10-year period before and after the cutting year, and rate changes in edge and non-edge trees were compared.

Bitterbrush and cheatgrass quality on 3 southwest Idaho winter ranges.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined whether differences existed in the nutritional quality of antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata [Pursh] DC.) and cheatgrass brome (Bromus tectorum L.) among three winter ranges and 6 habitats within the winter ranges.
Variations of Summertime Temperature Lapse Rate within a Mountainous Basin in the Republic of Korea - A case study of Punch Bowl, Yanggu in 2009
TL;DR: In this article, diurnal and intra-seasonal variations of summertime temperature lapse rate (TLR) by synoptic weather conditions in a mountainous basin are examined based on hourly temperature data observed in 2009 summer at an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) network deployed in Haean basin (called Punch Bowl), Yanggu basin in the Republic of Korea.
Modeling the Cumulative Effects of Forest Fire on Watershed Hydrology: A Post-fire Application of the Distributed Hydrology-Soil-Vegetation Model (DHSVM)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the distributed hydrology-soil-vegetation model (DHSVM) to the Eightmile Creek watershed in western Montana to assess the applicability of the model as a cumulative effects assessment tool in the post fire landscape of a forested watershed in this region.

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.
