Here we systematically (extreme precipitation, wind gusts, waves) from a system typology perspective. Cyclones identified automatically ERA-Interim reanalysis data, thunderstorm based lightning observations 2005 2015, defining study period. Relationships examined over this period between different types types, globally for seasons. Most individual most likely be associated front-only or cyclone front while tropics, strongly thunderstorm-only type. Despite being less frequent than double triple shows comparable importance many hazards, especially hazard. Individual case using event framework. It is intended that greater understanding cause them regions throughout world will help lead improved preparedness disaster risk reduction, given our rapidly changing world.
