Historical climate data will also be disaggregated by creating separate climatologies for cycles such as El Nino/La Nina and ENSO, enabling growers to better forcast within a season based on current major weather cycles and patterns. New historical climate data and derived growing season metrics (Length of Growing Season, GDDs, etc) from ORNL Daymet and IPCC Climate Change data using future scenarios will better characterize the uncertainty regarding the probability of low temperatures in the spring and growing season metrics. Interpretation will be provided to aid the end user in understanding the differences and appropriateness of the various sources of weather and climate data. Information from supplemental sources will be provided in an ensemble approach in which spatial climate data from PRISM (used in the current report), DayMet, IPCC Climate Change Scenarios and individual station data from NOAA-GHCN can be incorporated simultaneously in the site assessment report.

The new portal features will include user accounts for management, desktop, smartphone, or tablet interfaces, and a 'MyVineyard' Site mapping capability that can send email site-specific reports and alerts to vineyard managers.īoth the site assessment and interpretation processes will be enhanced in a PDF report.

GeoVine brings together new and existing tools and includes links to outside sources such as Extension sources, Mizuho Nita's IPM pages, and more. If you would like to discuss the availability of the vineyard site assessment report, models and forecast reports for your state, please contact Peter Sforza at or 540.231.8935.

The current GeoVine tool, funded by the Virginia Wine Board and Maryland Wineries Association, builds upon the legacy tool and adds many functionalities detailed below. The legacy eastern coast vineyards tool was retired in 2017 due to lack of research/maintenance funding. CGIT has been at the forefront of vineyard site assessment for over ten years.
