Vegetation index
Satellite-derived vegetation indices, such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are great tools to better understand the state of vegetative health. Utilizing our indices enables greater insight into how weather conditions can impact crop growth, final yield and subsequently price fluctuations, providing a clearer view of progress among complex external variables.El Niño /La Niña forecast
Contributing to major shifts in global weather patterns, the El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the measure of the fluctuating Pacific Ocean temperatures that create both El Niño and La Niña events. Such events can result in many regions experiencing prolonged and extreme weather, which can significantly threaten commodities. Expana tracks and monitors the ENSO along with multiple global forecast models to gain insight into potential future meteorological anomalies.
Weather report
Collating global weather events and extremes, Expana publishes a monthly weather report containing a comprehensive overview of the status of the global climate and insights into impacted commodities. The report includes an ENSO update, an insight into consequences of tropical storms, and more detail into commodities that are growing under the most extreme conditions.Related weather insights
