Talk:Training (meteorology)

This page was proposed for deletion by an editor in the past.

deletion opposition[edit]

This is a very important hydrometeorological term. While that particular google search yielded few hits, it is a term used often by NOAA in its predictions. A merge discussion is ongoing with Storm train, so I believe this deletion request is inappropriate. I have removed the template.-Running On Brains 17:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know, and it's OK, I thought the same thing, but I didn't remove it because I didn't want to start an edit war. I was actually slightly upset with this user, because he/she tagged up almost all the articles I created, and seems to be doing excessive tagging to other articles as well, including this one. This user was User:Bongomatic. Thanks for resolving the deletion issue. Anyway, I would like to discuss the merging concern here. -- IRP ☎ 23:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would support getting rid of the questionable notability guideline tag. Yes, the article is short, but there is potential for it to grow, and training is a the cause of many floods. WxGopher (talk) 16:49, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

Suggest merger of the other article (Storm train) into this one (Training (meteorology)). There are no sources for the term "Storm train", even though it's a plausible redirect so deletion seems inappropriate. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:20, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How about the separate article being named "thunderstorm-training", and unmerged? That seems to be more common, and it was actually used on an NWS warning. -- IRP ☎ 15:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can find the text by pressing CTRL+F, and entering (without quotes): "thunderstorm training".

Besides, USA Today used "storm train". -- IRP ☎ 15:42, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Thunderstorm training" is used on NWS text products[edit]

"Thunderstorm training" is often used to refer to training occuring with thunderstorms. Please see an archived NWS warning here.

Here is an excerpt of the text where it says "thunderstorm training" (bolded and underlined):

WITH PW'S APPROACHING 2 INCHES BY 12Z SATURDAY...HEAVY 
RAINFALL/FLASH FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN IN AREAS WHERE 
THUNDERSTORM TRAINING OCCURS.
