'''Eastern North Atlantic Observatory (ENA)''' is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility, located on Graciosa Island in the Azores. | |||
It focuses on capturing data to enhance the understanding of the marine atmosphere's response to climate change, particularly around cloud formation, aerosol interactions, and precipitation. | |||
