'''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.
