Description
Outlines basic principles of weather and specifically the seasonal patterns that affect the Pacific Northwest. Various seasonal weather hazards to viticulture will be examined with respect to their origin along with the steps grape growers can take to mitigate such events: frost, hail, drought, excessive heat, winter cold injury and untimely rain, among others. Various mid- and long-range models offered by the National Weather Service and other meteorological entities that may assist the grape grower in making timely vineyard operations decisions will also be studied. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Demonstrate ability to interpret various weather scenarios.
Analyze the parameters involved to distinguish the attendant viticultural implications.
