专业气象学家通过正规教育获得了大量知识，但有两个因素需要在整个职业生涯中不断学习：专业人士必须将他们所学的知识应用到他们所从事的特定子学科中，而他们所依赖的知识和技术随着时间的推移会变得过时。因此，专业实践中固有的一点是，大部分学习或多或少是自我导向的。虽然这些原则适用于气象学的任何方面，但本文将概念应用于天气和气候预报，其中存在一系列可供学习的资源，从多到少。无论属于哪个分支学科，识别和寻求职业终身学习机会的责任都落在该分支学科的成员身上。因此，气象学家定期评估他们持续的学习需求并培养反思性实践的能力至关重要。自主学习的构建及其在类似专业中的实施方式为气象学家个人如何追求以及该专业如何促进气象学家持续的自主学习努力提供了愿景。
Professional meteorologists gain a great deal of knowledge through formal education, but two factors require ongoing learning throughout a career: professionals must apply their learning to the specific subdiscipline they practice, and the knowledge and technology they rely on becomes outdated over time. It is thus inherent in professional practice that much of the learning is more or less self-directed. While these principles apply to any aspect of meteorology, this paper applies concepts to weather and climate forecasting, for which a range of resources, from many to few, for learning exist. No matter what the subdiscipline, the responsibility for identifying and pursuing opportunities for professional, lifelong learning falls to the members of the subdiscipline. Thus, it is critical that meteorologists periodically assess their ongoing learning needs and develop the ability to reflectively practice. The construct of self-directed learning and how it has been implemented in similar professions provide visions for how individual meteorologists can pursue—and how the profession can facilitate—the ongoing, self-directed learning efforts of meteorologists.
