Pioneers across Europe deploy NVIDIA Earth-2 open models for real-world weather and climate prediction
NVIDIA's Earth-2 is a set of open AI weather and climate models and tools that researchers and developers can adapt with their own data. The article cites European users (AXA, Vaisala Xweather, University of Manchester, TotalEnergies, Space42) applying them to cyclone risk, warnings, air quality and solar forecasting.
What the article says
On October 21, 2026, at GTC Berlin, NVIDIA described how European organizations are using its open Earth-2 models for weather and climate prediction. Earth-2 is presented as a family of open AI models and tools that can be customized with a user's own data.
The main announcement is StormScope EU, a regional version of the short-term forecasting model, trained on European data and able to predict cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals. Several organizations are named: AXA (cyclone risk), Vaisala Xweather (forecasting enriched with lightning data), the University of Manchester (U.K. air quality), TotalEnergies (solar-radiation nowcasts) and Space42 (height estimation from radar). The open-source PhysicsNeMo framework lets developers retrain these models for new uses.
