·2026.10.22 14:00
Key point
The new model uses EUMETSAT satellite data to predict cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels, supporting partners like AXA and TotalEnergies in risk assessment and energy forecasting.
Details
- StormScope EU joins the NVIDIA Earth-2 family as a regional model for short-term forecasting, trained on European weather and climate data.
- The model processes EUMETSAT satellite observations to predict evolving cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals.
- A live demo at GTC Berlin showcases the pipeline in partnership with Earthmover, using Earth2Studio for forecasts and serving real-time results as map tiles updated every 10 minutes.
- Organizations including AXA, Vaisala Xweather, University of Manchester, TotalEnergies, and Space42 are adapting Earth-2 models for cyclone risk, air quality, solar energy, and surface height estimation.
- AXA uses FourCastNet 3 to study regional cyclone risk across more than 1,000 simulated seasons.
- University of Manchester researchers adapted CorrDiff for U.K. air-quality modeling, running it on NVIDIA DGX Spark systems after training on the Isambard-AI supercomputer.
