| #<div class="definition"><div class="short_definition">Any disturbed state of the [[atmosphere]], especially as affecting the earth's surface, implying inclement and possibly destructive weather.</div><br/> <div class="paragraph">There are at least three somewhat different viewpoints of storms. 1) In [[synoptic meteorology]], a storm is a complete individual [[disturbance]] identified on [[synoptic charts]] as a complex of [[pressure]], [[wind]], [[clouds]], [[precipitation]], etc., or identified by such mesometeorological means as [[radar]] or [[sferics]]. Thus, storms range in scale from [[tornadoes]] and [[thunderstorms]], through [[tropical cyclones]], to widespread [[extratropical cyclones]]. 2) From a local and special interest viewpoint, a storm is a [[transient]] occurrence identified by its most destructive or spectacular aspect(s). In this manner we speak of [[rainstorms]], [[windstorms]], [[hailstorms]], [[snowstorms]], etc. Notable special cases are [[blizzards]], [[ice storms]], [[sandstorms]], and [[duststorms]]. 3) To a hydrologist, "storm" alludes primarily to the space- and time-distribution of [[rainfall]] over a given region. <br/>''See'' [[local storm]], [[severe storm]].</div><br/> </div>
