Hello, I'm Vince, an electrical engineering student from Erie PA.

Grape varieties grown in the vineyard at the Lake Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center (LERGREC) have different sensitivities to cold temperature. 

High value grapes of the vinifera class are the most sensitive to cold.

Establishing a vineyard is expensive and production is not achieved for at least three years after planting, which makes placement of high value varieties critical for success. 

The goal of this projects is to set up an array of sensors, at ground levels and at 1 meter, to log temperature levels over a season. This information is valuables in establishing locations in the vineyard that would be more suitable to the high value grape varieties.
