Description of the LASSO-ENA Activity: A LASSO Scenario for Marine Cellular Convection
****************************************************************************************

**NOTE: This is an evolving version of the LASSO-ENA documentation. It is subject to change.**

This documentation is for the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (`ARM <https://www.arm.gov>`_) User Facility's Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) product focusing on the Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory (`ENA <https://www.arm.gov/capabilities/observatories/ena>`_). This product is formally dubbed LASSO-ENA. The ENA observatory is located on Graciosa Island in the Azores archipelago in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. The LASSO-ENA product simulates a range of marine, mostly shallow, cellular convection using large-eddy simulations with 100-m grid spacing to help scientists better understand the processes leading to these clouds. Ultimately, the goal is to better understand the cloud processes so that weather and earth system models can be improved to better represent these conditions.
