电视天气预报是促进地名和自然地理的有效手段，天气预报员的培训可以促进地理学家和记者之间的互动。本文概述了美国气象预报的发展和现状，以及地理学家在气象预报员培训中的作用。自20世纪40年代发展以来，天气预报一直受到气象正确性和提供娱乐性演示的愿望的限制。经过十年的“天气小丑”，美国气象学会通过其批准印章计划和直接投入，稳步提高了天气预报员的培训，使今天，55%的人相当于一个学士学位。在气象学上。尽管如此，19%的人从未上过气象学课程。大多数天气预报消耗3.5分钟的22.5分钟的本地新闻。天气预报在更大、更城市的市场区域更短，在…

Weathercasts are shorter in the larger, more urban market areas and contain less applied weather in...
