This section of our site contains actual field data collected in the vineyard. It is presented here in an effort to contribute to the Virginina wine research community, whose continuing efforts are helping to improve the production, quality, and enjoyment of Virginia wines.
If you are a wine enthusiast, we hope you find this data interesting. However, if you are a grower, student, educator, or researcher, we hope this data proves useful in your endeavors. This data may be freely distributed for non-commercial, educational purposes. To obtain written permission for reprinting, please email us at Research@NotavivaVineyards.com.
Data is collected using the HOBO® H8 Pro RH/Temp Logger. You can read the manufacturer specs here. Data is collected from the loggers and prepared for analysis using the BoxCar Pro 4.3 software. We purchased our loggers from MicroDAQ.com.
View the layout of the data loggers, and learn more about the data loggers in the January 11, 2005 blog entry.
