 training review and analysis
The methods and subject matter of synoptic meteorology are sufficiently extensive and advanced to be deserving of separate and comprehensive treatment, but the laboratory work associated with the courses should not be permitted to dominate the students' attention nor to degenerate into repetitious practicing of routine procedures.
Forecasters are not generally trained or encouraged to read the current meteorological literature, so typically they can't even try to ferret out those articles that actually have a bearing on their job.
This split, which meteorology shares with many professions, must be minimized by some means if forecasters are to be brought up-to-date and given the sort of basic physical understanding that permits both forecasting and research advances to be made.

 Training (meteorology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In meteorology, training is when a successive series of showers or thunderstorms moves repeatedly over the same area, usually causing some form of flooding, especially flash floods.
It is named so because this is similar to the way train cars move down a track in a line, over and over the same point, without the track moving.
