The study of the atmosphere is called atmospheric science, which is divided into two fields: meteorology and climatology. Meteorology studies the short-term behavior of weather, such as a single storm or a single season. Climatology deals with how the atmosphere behaves over long periods of time, usually decades or longer.
climate
Climate refers to conditions within an atmosphere; by definition, space has no climate.
For long term readings, satellites and weather balloons can take measurements at different levels in the atmosphere to look for conditions that ar conducive to tornadoes such as instability, inversion caps, and wind shear. Computer models use data such as this to forecast the behavior of large scale systems, including the potential for the severe storms capable of producing tornadoes. In the short term, Doppler radar can detect the rotation within a thunderstorm that can lead tor a tornado.
Space weather is the concept of changing environmental conditions in near-Earth space or the space from the Sun's atmosphere to the Earth's atmosphere. It is distinct from the concept of weather within the Earth's planetary atmosphere(troposphere and stratosphere).
Weather
natcho
Climate is the name for long-term atmospheric conditions. Short-term conditions are called weather.
Short term threats would be smog and acid rain. Destruction of the ozone layer would be a long term effect, as would increased levels of carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere.
Yes. Weather is short-term, climate is long-term.Yes. Weather is short-term, climate is long-term.
either a long-term or a short term store, it's a place where carbon is accumalated and stored. Examples of long term stores is the atmosphere and short-term could be living organisms.

Weather.
True. Yes, weather is the short-term condition of the atmosphere at a point in time.
There is no atmosphere on Mercury
The term "space weather" refers to conditions on the surface of the Sun that ultimately affect Earth and its atmosphere.
atmosphere can be measured in barometers.
