European groups deploy NVIDIA Earth-2 for local weather forecasts
Original title: Pioneers Across Europe Deploy NVIDIA Earth-2 Open Models to Power Real-World Weather and Climate Prediction
New StormScope EU predicts clouds on 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals from EUMETSAT data.
NVIDIA says Earth-2 open models support global weather prediction, regional forecasts and environmental research. StormScope EU, trained on European weather and climate data, is shown live at GTC Berlin with Earthmover, updating every 10 minutes. AXA, Vaisala Xweather, the University of Manchester, TotalEnergies and Space42 are adapting FourCastNet 3, StormScope or CorrDiff for cyclone risk, lightning, air quality, solar output and radar height.
Unconfirmed: Several efforts are described as exploring or evaluating rather than operational forecasts.
- AXA studies cyclone risk across more than 1,000 simulated seasons.
- Manchester trained CorrDiff for U.K. air quality on Isambard-AI.
- TotalEnergies is evaluating solar nowcasts at two photovoltaic sites.
- Space42 built SARDiff4Height using CorrDiff and PhysicsNeMo.

Weather forecasts shape more than daily plans; timely weather information is crucial for energy producers, insurers and transport operators to plan around changing conditions. A global forecast can show a storm taking shape, but decisions about solar farms, shipping routes or insured property depend on what happens locally. NVIDIA Earth-2 gives developers and researchers a […]
