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:

GEOtop 2.0: simulating the combined energy and water balance at and below the land surface accounting for soil freezing, snow cover and terrain effects
TL;DR: GEOtop 2.0 as mentioned in this paper is a fine-scale grid-based simulator that represents the heat and water budgets at and below the soil surface, considering the radiative and turbulent fluxes.

Daily spatiotemporal precipitation simulation using latent and transformed Gaussian processes
TL;DR: In this article, a daily stochastic spatio-temporal precipitation generator that yields spatially consistent gridded quantitative precipitation realizations is described, which relies on a latent Gaussian process to drive precipitation occurrence and a probability integral transformed Gaussian processes for intensity.

Climate warming over the past three decades has shortened rice growth duration in China and cultivar shifts have further accelerated the process for late rice
TL;DR: The results suggest that a major, temperature induced change in the rice growth duration is underway in China and that using a short-duration cultivar has been accelerating the process for late rice.

Detecting change in forest spatial patterns from reference conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors built spatially continuous vegetation maps for 48 randomly selected subwatersheds from aerial photo interpretations, classified cover types, structural classes, and potential vegetation types and attributed them to individual patches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that seasonal mismatches in phenology span multiple trophic levels, with timing of reproduction, hibernation, or migration becoming detached from peak food supply.

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.
