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:

TL;DR: This work compared 16 modelling methods over 226 species from 6 regions of the world, creating the most comprehensive set of model comparisons to date and found that presence-only data were effective for modelling species' distributions for many species and regions.

Predictive habitat distribution models in ecology
TL;DR: A review of predictive habitat distribution modeling is presented, which shows that a wide array of models has been developed to cover aspects as diverse as biogeography, conservation biology, climate change research, and habitat or species management.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the PRISM (Parameter-elevation relationships on independent slopes model) interpolation method to develop data sets that reflected, as closely as possible, the current state of knowledge of spatial climate patterns in the United States.

Optimal estimators of mean areal precipitation in regions of orographic influence
Siong-Huat Chua,Rafael L. Bras +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the application of kriging to estimate the mean areal precipitation (MAP) of mountainous regions under two different assumptions of the drift and spatial dependency of precipitation influenced by orographic effects was proposed.

A model of canopy photosynthesis and water use incorporating a mechanistic formulation of leaf CO2 exchange
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the carbon uptake and water balance of forest stands is described where leaf photosynthesis is represented by a mechanistic model of photosynthesis by C3 plants.

The emergence of global‐scale hydrology
TL;DR: The current state of these models with respect to hydrology, their weaknesses, data needs, and potential utility are discussed in this article, where the authors discuss the potential utility of using these models for hydrologic forecasting.

Evapotranspiration calculated from remote multispectral and ground station meteorological data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated evapotranspiration by combining remotely sensed reflected solar radiation and surface temperatures with ground station meteorological data (incoming solar radiation, air temperature, windspeed, and vapor pressure) to calculate net radiation and sensible heat flux.

Validating Diurnal Climatology Logic of the MT-CLIM Model Across a Climatic Gradient in Oregon
TL;DR: In this article, the MT-CLIM model was used to test diurnal climatology assumptions made in the model by examining two microclimate variables driven by diurnal atmospheric dynamics: incident solar radiation (in kilojoules per square metre), and humidity, expressed as vapor pressure deficit, VPD (in Kilopascals).
