National audience; Global climate change affects not only common farm crops, but also vineyard yields, the effects of which are commonly observed in both the phenological stages of the vine and the features of the finished product. Vine production is strongly affected by local climate variation. Unfortunately, General Atmospheric Circulation Models are lacking to accurately reproduce useful local climate pattern. The use of Regional Atmosphere Circulation Models offers a great opportunity towards climate impact studies. In this paper, we assess the ability of the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) regional climate model to reproduce climate variability in the Burgundy region during the …
