Zephyr caption:  AES Atlantic Region ran a Technician Cross Training Course (March through June 1989) in order to prepare a group of presentation technicians to carry out forecasting duties at the new Atlantic Region Weather Service Office testbed. After a period of "double banking" in August-September, the graduates shared equally in the forecasting duties with a selected group of meteorologists from the Maritimes Weather Centre.
