Question

define atmospheric hazard (fall stars if right)

Answer 1

Each of the atmospheric hazards may have
its own natural characteristics, geographic
area where it occurs (areal extent), time of
year it is most likely to occur, severity, and
associated risk. While these characteristics
allow identification of each hazard, many
atmospheric hazards are interrelated. In
most cases, a natural disaster or event
involves multiple hazards: severe thunder-
storms spawn tornados; wind is a factor in
thunderstorms, severe winterstorms, tropical
cyclones, and hailstorms; snowfall from a
severe winterstorm can prompt avalanches.
Because several atmospheric hazards may
occur concurrently, it may be difficult to
attribute damage to any one hazard or to
assess the risk a particular hazard. On the
other hand, mitigation efforts directed at a
specific hazard, windstorms for example,
often have beneficial effects on related
atmospheric hazards
