Pioneers Across Europe Deploy NVIDIA Earth-2 Open Models to Power Real-World Weather and Climate Prediction
nvidia ·
NVIDIA is deploying its Earth-2 open AI models across Europe to enhance real-world weather and climate prediction capabilities. A key development is StormScope EU, a regional model trained on European data that utilizes EUMETSAT satellite observations for high-frequency cloud forecasting. At GTC Berlin, NVIDIA showcased an interactive demo with partner Earthmover, allowing users to explore real-time predictions via map tiles updated every ten minutes. The platform supports customization through tools like the PhysicsNeMo framework, enabling developers to integrate proprietary data for specific regional needs. Major organizations are already leveraging these technologies; AXA uses FourCastNet 3 to analyze cyclone risks, while Vaisala Xweather enhances its platforms with lightning data integration. Additionally, researchers at the University of Manchester have adapted CorrDiff for local air-quality modeling, and TotalEnergies is exploring solar-energy forecasting applications. These initiatives demonstrate how open-source AI is being tailored to address diverse challenges in energy, insurance, and environmental science.
