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:

Tree mortality in dynamic vegetation models – A key feature for accurately simulating forest properties
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic vegetation model is proposed to capture the processes of vegetation dynamics, and tree mortality is modeled as a function of growth e.g., tree mortality in a forest.
Development and Application of a Model Interface to couple Land Surface Models with Regional Climate Models for Climate Change Risk Assessment in the Upper Danube Watershed
TL;DR: In this paper, a model interface has been developed that provides adequate scaling techniques to overcome the mismatch between the model scales permitting the investigation of climate change impacts at regional to local scales.

Comparison of three weather generators for crop modeling: a case study for subtropical environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of three weather generators, MARKSIM, SIMMETEO and WGEN, with observed daily weather data for one of the major maize growing regions in northwest Mexico.

TL;DR: The authors' simulation results indicate that forests in GRSM have a C density as high as 15.9kgm(-2), about twice the regional average, and higher precipitation and lower temperatures in the higher elevation forests result in larger total C pool sizes than in forests at lower elevations.

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.
