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:

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of projected climate change and drought on water storage at 30 major reservoirs in Texas were explored, with results indicating an increase in the occurrence of thermal disruption under only half of climate models.

Trend Patterns of Vegetative Coverage and Their Underlying Causes in the Deserts of Northwest China over 1982 – 2008
Tianyi Zhang,Hesong Wang +1 more
TL;DR: Climate is not the primary driver for vegetative coverage in Northwest China and future studies will be required to identify the impacts of specific non-climatic factors on vegetative Coverage based on high-resolution data, which will be beneficial in creating an effective strategy to combat the recent desertification trend.

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.
