The Wine Cellar Problem Ryley Hill and Dylan Snover
The Problem Wine is best stored in an environment where temperature fluctuations are at a minimum. These temperature fluctuations occur at the surface both diurnally and seasonally. In order to determine the ideal depth at which to build our wine cellar, we must derive a solution to the following PDE.

Case Study (Napa, California) (Annual Cycle)
Daily Temperature Profile Napa, CA Optimal Depth = 0.55 [m] *Fine if you only want to keep your wine for a single day...
Daily Temperature Profile (Annual Cycle Limits) There is a big problem if we only Assume a daily cycle! We shall assume an annual cycle. Fine wines need aging of course.
Annual Temperature Profile Napa, CA Optimal Depth = 9.95 [m]
