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:

Uncertainties in the response of a forest landscape to global climatic change
TL;DR: In this paper, the uncertainty in the forest-type composition is quantified using Fourier amplitude sensitivity test (Fourier amplitude S test) to quantify the forest landscape response to climate change.

Assessing the past and future distribution and productivity of ponderosa pine in the Pacific Northwest using a process model, 3-PG
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of climate variability on the annual productivity of Pinus ponderosa in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of North America over the past 100 years and infer how a sustained change in climate might alter the geographic distribution of this species across defined ecotones.

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.
