Develop and deliver training on weather topics.

“Develop and deliver training on weather topics.” is a core task performed by Atmospheric and Space Scientists. Among the occupation's 27 rated tasks, workers place it 17th by importance (#11 most important). About 85% of workers say it is relevant to their job.

This is a single occupation-specific task statement from O*NET. The figures below describe how central the task is to the job and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the task will be automated.

Work activities this task rolls up to

O*NET groups concrete tasks into broader work activities shared across many occupations.

• Provide information or assistance to the public. in Communicating with People Outside the Organization
• Teach academic or vocational subjects. in Training and Teaching Others

AI exposure

The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E2. Exposure with tools — software built on top of a language model (not the model alone) could cut the time by at least half.

Exposure measures whether a model could meaningfully speed the task up — it is an estimate of overlap with model capabilities, not a measure of whether the work will be done by software. The study's intermediate score (β) for this task is 0.50. Automation potential label: T2.
