North Dakota: Legendary. Follow the trail of legends

Vision

"To conduct quality atmospheric management programs throughout the state of North Dakota, and be the national leader in the application of cloud modification technology."


ARB Recruiting Observers to Report Precipitation

We are recruiting volunteers to observe and report precipitation across North Dakota. Volunteers have the choice of participating in the ARB Cooperative Observer Network (ARBCON), which reports from April-September each year, or a new network called the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network, dubbed CoCoRaHS, which reports year-round. If you have any interest in either program, contact Dan Brothers at (701) 328-2788, or via email at dabrothers@nd.gov.
