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:

Gridded Ensemble Precipitation and Temperature Estimates for the Contiguous United States
Andrew J. Newman,Martyn P. Clark,Jason Craig,Bart Nijssen,Andrew W. Wood,Ethan Gutmann,Naoki Mizukami,Levi D. Brekke,Jeffrey R. Arnold +8 more
TL;DR: This article developed a gridded, observation-based ensemble of precipitation and temperature at a daily increment for the period 1980-2012 for the conterminous United States, northern Mexico, and southern Canada.

Global warming presents new challenges for maize pest management
Noah S. Diffenbaugh,Christian H. Krupke,Christian H. Krupke,Michael A. White,Corinne E. Alexander +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively assess four key pests of maize, one of the most important systems in North American grain production, using empirically generated estimates of pest overwintering thresholds and degree-day requirements, along with climate change projections from a high-resolution climate model.

Mapping the probability of large fire occurrence in northern Arizona, USA
Brett G. Dickson,Brett G. Dickson,John W. Prather,Yaguang Xu,Haydee M. Hampton,Ethan N. Aumack,Thomas D. Sisk +6 more
TL;DR: This paper examined contributing landscape factors and patterns related to the occurrence of large (⩾20-ha in extent) fires in the forested region of northern Arizona, and assembled a database of lightning- and human-caused fires for the period 1 April to 30 September, 1986-2000.

A New Assessment of Soil Loss Due to Wind Erosion in European Agricultural Soils Using a Quantitative Spatially Distributed Modelling Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a geographic information system version of the Revised Wind Erosion Equation was developed to evaluate the soil loss potential due to wind erosion in the arable land of the EU.

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.
