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 family of open AI models and tools they can customize with their own data. Running on NVIDIA computing, these technologies support global weather prediction, detailed regional forecasts and environmental research.
StormScope EU is the latest model to join Earth-2 — a regional version of the StormScope model for short-term forecasting, trained over Europe weather and climate data. It uses EUMETSAT satellite observations to predict evolving cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals.
At GTC Berlin, NVIDIA is showcasing a live StormScope EU pipeline in an interactive weather demo built in partnership with Earthmover . The demo uses Earth2Studio to run forecasts and Earthmover’s data platform to manage and serve the real-time results, which are updated as soon as new satellite observations come in, every 10 minutes. Earthmover serves these results as map tiles, letting visitors explore predictions across Europe without downloading entire datasets.
Developers can combine Earth-2 models in workflows tailored to regional needs, using StormScope for short-term forecasting and CorrDiff to add local detail to coarser weather data. Developers can also pick up these model architectures and train them for new environmental applications such as air-quality modeling. The open source NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo framework provides training and customization tools so teams can build applications that incorporate proprietary data and domain expertise to meet regional needs.
Organizations building on Earth-2 capabilities include:
Key considerations
- Investor positioning can change fast
- Volatility remains possible near catalysts
- Macro rates and liquidity can dominate flows
