NVIDIA details StormScope EU cloud forecasts and Earth-2 solar-energy trials

NVIDIA says its new Earth-2 regional model, StormScope EU, uses EUMETSAT observations to predict cloud conditions across 16 Meteosat channels at 10-minute intervals. NVIDIA describes an Earthmover demonstration that serves updated forecasts as map tiles, allowing users to explore predictions without downloading full datasets. Source

For energy planning, NVIDIA reports that TotalEnergies is evaluating StormScope-based solar-radiation nowcasts at two photovoltaic sites. NVIDIA frames the work as exploration of whether finer forecasts could help anticipate solar-generation changes—not a demonstrated operational improvement. NVIDIA also specifies that Earth-2 runs on NVIDIA computing, a relevant infrastructure consideration for adopters. Forecast accuracy, operating costs and measured benefits at those sites remain unverified; NVIDIA’s account is vendor reporting, not independent confirmation. Source
