CorbeauCast is a microclimate forecasting algorithm that Corbeau have been developing since the beginning of 2023. It provides vineyards with improved temperature forecasting which could be used for overnight frost or daytime heat stress warning.

CorbeauCast uses machine learning to adapt a local weather forecast according to the microclimate of a specific site in the vineyard. This involves daily updates from a weather API and regular microclimate observations from a local weather station in the vineyard. With sufficient information, machine learning methods can identify historic relationships between general local weather forecasts and local microclimate. These relationships allow a model to be created which is used to predict how vineyard conditions will differ from the local weather forecast on a given day.
