NVIDIA Earth‑2 Models Launched in Europe to Boost Local Weather Forecasting

NVIDIA has rolled out its Earth‑2 open models to partners across Europe, giving developers a new toolkit for creating high‑resolution, local weather and climate forecasts.

The Earth‑2 models are built on large‑scale climate datasets and can be run on NVIDIA GPUs, allowing teams to generate predictions that capture the nuances of regional weather patterns. This level of detail is critical for industries that depend on accurate local information—solar farms need to know when clouds will roll in, shipping companies must anticipate wind shifts, and insurers assess risk based on precise storm trajectories.

By making the models open, NVIDIA is encouraging researchers and commercial developers to experiment and iterate quickly. The initiative fits into NVIDIA’s broader AI for Earth strategy, which aims to harness artificial intelligence to address climate‑related challenges.

While the models are currently focused on European deployments, NVIDIA plans to expand availability globally, potentially enabling more industries worldwide to improve operational planning and risk management through better weather intelligence.
