======================================================================

Better and more accurate weather forecasts could soon be a more common 
occurrence for all of us thanks to a new upgrade from Nvidia. 

At its Nvidia GTC 2025 event, the company unveiled the next step along in its 
plan of using a digital twin of planet Earth to help forecasters build more 
accurate forecasting models. 

The NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for Earth-2 weather analytics model provide a 
significant update on the original iteration, announced at GTC 2024 , 
providing more accurate and powerful tools to make forecasts even better. 
Better forecasts, faster 

Nvidia says severe weather-related events have caused a $2 trillion impact on 
the global economy over the last decade, and better forecasts could be one 
way of mitigating this. 

It says the NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for Earth-2 offers a number of useful 
tools, including Nvidia GPU acceleration libraries, a physics-AI framework, 
development tools and microservices to help speed up the process of going 
from prototyping to production with weather forecast models. 

In effect, Nvidia says this should all help developers build solutions that 
deliver warnings and updated forecasts in seconds, rather than the minutes or 
hours needed with traditional CPU-driven modeling. 

Were seeing more extreme weather events and natural disasters than ever, 
threatening lives and property, said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. 

The NVIDIA Omiverse Blueprint for Earth-2 will help industries around the 
world prepare for  and mitigate  climate change and weather-related 
disasters. 

The platform has already signed up several major climate tech companies 
including AI company G42, JBA Risk Management, Spire and others. You might
