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:

Analysis of the spatial climate structure in viticulture regions worldwide.
TL;DR: In this article, the spatial structure of six commonly used climate-viticulture suitability indices in winegrowing regions was examined using a gridded climate data set (WorldClim) at 1 km resolution.

Water-Quality Assessment of the High Plains Aquifer, 1999-2004
TL;DR: Water quality of the High Plains aquifer was assessed for the period 1999-2004 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program as mentioned in this paper.

Variation of Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain
TL;DR: In this article, a simple similarity relationship is constructed to relate the spatial variation of air temperature along the slope to the thermal forcing and mixing, which is not included in present empirical formulations of the surface air temperature distribution in complex terrain.

Assessing the impacts of climate change and nitrogen deposition on Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) growth in Austria with BIOME-BGC.
TL;DR: This study applies the species-specific adaptation of the biogeochemical model BIOME-BGC to Norway spruce across a range of Austrian climatic change zones, using input data from a number of national databases.

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.
