Updated Precipitation Series for the U.K. and Discussion of Recent Extremes
Lisa V. Alexander,Philip Jones +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an automated method for updating existing long-running precipitation series in near-real time was presented, which confirmed the trend towards significantly drier summers in the south-east of England and significantly wetter winters in the west of Scotland.

Subpixel monitoring of the seasonal snow cover with MODIS at 250 m spatial resolution in the Southern Alps of New Zealand: Methodology and accuracy assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive method to produce routinely regional maps of seasonal snow cover in the Southern Alps of New Zealand (upper Waitaki basin) on a subpixel basis, and with the MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), was described.

Numerically stable algorithm for discrete-ordinate-method radiative transfer in multiple scattering and emitting layered media.
TL;DR: An advanced, thoroughly documented, and quite general purpose discrete ordinate algorithm for time-independent transfer calculations in vertically inhomogeneous, nonisothermal, plane-parallel media for Atmospheric applications ranging from the UV to the radar region of the electromagnetic spectrum is summarized.

A description of the correlated k distribution method for modeling nongray gaseous absorption, thermal emission, and multiple scattering in vertically inhomogeneous atmospheres
Andrew A. Lacis,Valdar Oinas +1 more
TL;DR: A radiative transfer method for treating nongray gaseous absorption and thermal emission in vertically inhomogeneous multiple scattering atmospheres is described in this paper, where probability density distributions of absorption coefficient strength are derived from line-by-line calculations to construct line-By-line and band model based k distributions.
