Weather forecasts move to ten-minute updates: Europe's StormScope turns satellite cloud images into regional nowcasts
NVIDIA has added StormScope EU to its Earth-2 family of open models, a regional version trained on European weather and climate data that uses EUMETSAT satellite observations to predict evolving cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals. A global forecast can show a storm taking shape, but decisions about solar farms, shipping routes or insured property depend on what happens locally. At GTC Berlin, the model runs in a live pipeline with Earthmover's data platform, updating as new observations arrive and serving results as map tiles so visitors can explore European predictions without downloading whole datasets.
