Morphology
The adjective 'wild' directly modifies the noun 'atmosphere' to yield an emotional tone characterized by loss of restraint or high energy, so the phrase's meaning is transparently compositional. This adjective–noun combination follows a common pattern across languages and would be predictable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Wild atmosphere brings together wild, meaning very noisy and out of control, and atmosphere, the feeling in a place. Imagine stepping into a stadium of shouting fans, bright lights and people moving everywhere, so the phrase means 'lively' and 'out of control'.
