## Summary

Nvidia's Earth-2 platform now includes StormScope EU, a regional version of the StormScope model trained on European weather and climate data. The model ingests EUMETSAT satellite observations and predicts evolving cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10‑minute intervals. At GTC Berlin Nvidia demonstrated a live StormScope EU pipeline built with Earth2Studio and Earthmover, which serves updated map tiles every ten minutes.

Organizations are already adapting Earth-2 models. AXA runs FourCastNet 3 to simulate more than 1,000 cyclone seasons for regional risk analysis. Vaisala Xweather combines StormScope with its own lightning data to extend short‑term forecasts in a SaaS platform. University of Manchester customized the CorrDiff model for UK air‑quality work, training it on the Isambard‑AI supercomputer and running it on DGX Spark desktops. TotalEnergies is evaluating StormScope‑based solar‑radiation nowcasts at two photovoltaic sites, while Space42 created SARDiff4Height from CorrDiff to estimate surface heights from single radar images. All models are open‑source and can be fine‑tuned with proprietary data via the NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo framework.

## Key points

- StormScope EU predicts cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels every 10 minutes.
- AXA uses FourCastNet 3 to simulate over 1,000 cyclone seasons for risk assessment.
- Vaisala, TotalEnergies, University of Manchester and Space42 adapt Earth-2 models for weather, solar and air‑quality applications.

## Why it matters

Open, customizable weather models give energy, insurance and transport firms high‑resolution forecasts, improving operational decisions and risk management across Europe.
