Mobile sensors for viticulture
VineForecast researches the use of mobile sensors Can microclimate data from mobile sensors improve local weather forecasts? To answer this question, VineForecast recently received research funding from the High-Tech Incubator (HTI) Lower Saxony. Mobile sensors are attached to implements and vehicles that drive through various fields during regular operations. This approach is in contrast to [...]
Why no weather station helps with preventive plant protection
Why don't you need your own weather station for an accurate forecast? In our last blog article, we explained how VineForecast adapts forecasts to the local conditions of a vineyard. With the help of so-called regionalisation, VineForecast can capture small-scale differences in infection risks without weather stations. In this blog article, we would like to address a question that we are often asked: [...]
How the regionalisation of weather data influences infection forecasts
VineForecast creates forecasts for every vineyard of a winery without installing weather stations in the vineyards. You can find out how this works and the methodology behind the technology in this blog article. Downscaling - regionalisation of the weather forecast To understand how weather forecasts are actually produced, we first need to delve a little deeper into the subject. Towards [...]
