NVIDIA Earth-2 Open Models Deployed for European Weather and Climate Prediction
Key points
- NVIDIA Earth-2 provides open AI models for weather and climate prediction.
- StormScope EU, a new regional model, uses EUMETSAT satellite data for short-term forecasting.
- AXA uses Earth-2's FourCastNet 3 for cyclone risk assessment.
- Vaisala Xweather integrates Earth-2 with its proprietary data for enhanced weather intelligence.
NVIDIA Earth-2 for Regional Forecasting
NVIDIA Earth-2 offers a suite of open AI models and tools for developers and researchers to customize with their own data. These models run on NVIDIA computing infrastructure and support global weather prediction, detailed regional forecasts, and environmental research.
The platform allows for combining models, such as using StormScope for short-term forecasting and CorrDiff for adding local detail to broader weather data. Developers can also adapt these model architectures for new environmental applications like air-quality modeling.
Introduction of StormScope EU
StormScope EU is the latest addition to the Earth-2 family, designed for short-term forecasting specifically for Europe. It was trained using European weather and climate data and utilizes EUMETSAT satellite observations.
This model predicts evolving cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals. A live demonstration of the StormScope EU pipeline was showcased at GTC Berlin, built in partnership with Earthmover, providing real-time, map-tile based predictions.
Industry Adoption and Applications
Organizations are integrating Earth-2 capabilities into their operations. AXA is using NVIDIA Earth-2’s FourCastNet 3 to analyze regional cyclone risk across over 1,000 simulated seasons, generating insights for risk assessments and prevention efforts.
Vaisala Xweather is combining Earth-2 with its proprietary observations, lightning data, and forecasting expertise. This integration aims to enhance its weather intelligence platforms for various sectors including government, energy, maritime, transportation, and insurance, with work including adapting StormScope with lightning data for short-term forecasting.
